Kyler Murray News
Monday, June 22, 8:58 AM
Entering 2026, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is in need of a career reboot. The 28-year-old missed 12 games in 2025 with a foot injury, marking the third time in the last four seasons that he's missed at least six games. Murray's production has also been in gradual decline since his peak years in 2020 and 2021, which led him to sign a massive contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals. As he enters his first year with Minnesota, Murray is currently competing for the QB1 role with incumbent Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. While McCarthy is a former first-round draft pick, he completed just 57.6% of his passes and threw 12 interceptions across 12 starts for the Vikings in 2025. If Murray can win the starting job, he'll be working with one of the league's better play-callers in Kevin O'Connell and throwing to an elite trio of wide receivers in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings. Murray also brings dual-threat upside for fantasy managers, as he's just a season removed from rushing for 572 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games for the Cardinals in 2024. Murray's profile obviously carries significant risk, but his current redraft ADP of QB17 may not be accurately capturing his upside.

Jalen Hurts News
Wednesday, June 10, 5:28 AM
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 season with his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. When it's worked out, as with Kellen Moore and Shane Steichen, the Eagles have played for Super Bowls, and Hurts has been an MVP contender. When it goes south, as was the case last season with Kevin Patullo, fingers are quick to be pointed, and there are reportedly some in the building who lay responsibility for the team's offensive struggles in 2025 at the feet of Hurts. The former second-round pick has three years remaining on his current deal, with $22 million guaranteed for 2027, but one needs to look no further back than 2020 for an example of the team moving on from a quarterback shortly after agreeing to a big-money extension. In that situation, it was Hurts taking the starting job from Carson Wentz before the former second overall pick was traded away with three years remaining on his second contract. By all accounts, Hurts has been receptive to the constant change around him, but if Philadelphia's offensive struggles continue under new coordinator Sean Mannion, the next change could very well include him.
