Underpriced rushing upside with 550–600 pace; three-year fantasy window before age cliff.

Kyler MurrayQB

Matt Kelley is bullish on Kyler Murray as a value pick at his current price. Murray was on pace for approximately 550–600 rushing yards last year, which would have led all quarterbacks in rushing. Kelley emphasizes Murray does not need to live up to his five-year-old superstar hype as a passer—only needs to play 17 games, execute competent football, and maintain his rushing volume from last year, which Kelley sees no reason he won't continue. Kelley describes Murray as a guilty pleasure pick, acknowledging skepticism about his commitment but arguing that even at his price, the upside is there; notes Murray is incentivized by a major contract decision coming in eight months and believes he is genuinely invested in performing well for the Vikings. Kelley also notes a three-year fantasy window with Murray for rushing utility that won't exist with other young QBs, as his escapability will remain valuable through his early thirties before utility drops dramatically after age 33–34.
