Kyler Murray's Dynasty Value Gets New Life With Move to Minnesota

Saturday, March 28, 3:27 PM

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's (foot) fantasy football value in dynasty/keeper leagues was trending down in recent years and fell to a low point in 2025, when he appeared in just five games due to a sprained foot. The 28-year-old former first overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma threw for just 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 173 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Despite injury-riddled seasons in two of the last three years, Murray should enter training camp this summer as the slight favorite to win the starting duties in Minnesota over J.J. McCarthy. If Murray stays healthy and plays up to his abilities (primarily as a rusher for fantasy purposes), he will have the weapons in Minnesota to become a favorite for Comeback Player of the Year in 2026. A fresh start in a new city could be just what the doctor ordered for Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler in 2020 and 2021, especially with a QB guru as head coach in Kevin O'Connell. If Murray ends up winning the QB job, he'll have QB1 upside in single-year fantasy leagues.

Jalen Hurts News

Jalen Hurts has Room for Improvement Amid Offensive Changes

Wednesday, March 18, 3:38 PM

Despite the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles on offense in 2025, quarterback Jalen Hurts was still a top-12 fantasy signal-caller with 3,224 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 16 regular-season games. The 27-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 was also named to his third career Pro Bowl. However, Hurts ran the ball 105 times, his second-fewest attempts in six seasons since his first year in the league, for 429 yards and eight touchdowns. Hurts had at least 10 rushing touchdowns in each of the previous four seasons. Philly's offense was out of sync often, which led to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after just one season. Hurts and receiver A.J. Brown seemed to have a disconnect, which could lead to Brown being traded this offseason. That certainly wouldn't help Hurts' fantasy value, but with a boost in rushing opportunities, he could vault back into the high-end tier of QB1s in 2026. Hurts has a high fantasy floor because of his rushing ability, as his eight rushing scores in 2025 ranked fourth among all QBs.
