Kyler Murray News
Friday, May 29, 10:29 AM
Veteran quarterback Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals came to an ugly end in 2025, as he struggled across five starts before suffering a foot injury that ultimately ended his season. However, the 28-year-old is healthy and ready to go entering 2026, and he landed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason. While Murray is nominally in a quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota, the widely held expectation is that Murray will assume the team's QB1 role. With the Vikings, Murray will work with a play-caller in Kevin O'Connell who has orchestrated multiple successful quarterback reclamation projects. Murray also has a pair of excellent wide receivers to throw to in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Murray's career has taken a turn for the worse in recent seasons, he still carries high-end dual-threat fantasy upside. Across 17 games in 2024, Murray threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 572 yards and five scores. If he can stay on the field in 2026, he has a golden opportunity to revitalize his career with the Vikings.

Malik Willis News
Wednesday, June 3, 8:57 AM
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis isn't the flashiest name in fantasy football, but his new three-year contract suggests that he could be a steady dynasty option going forward. The Dolphins made a substantial financial investment that indicates Willis should be the starter for at least two seasons in Miami. That type of stability puts him on the fantasy radar, even though he isn't a very talented passer. He makes up for some accuracy concerns with a dynamic rushing ability that allowed him to rack up fantasy points during limited action in 2025. Between Weeks 16 and 17 with the Packers last year, he totaled four touchdowns, 104 rushing yards, and one turnover. The Dolphins appear to be heading in a run-heavy direction with Willis and De'Von Achane, as well as the release of Tyreek Hill and the trade of Jaylen Waddle. Allowing Willis to run the ball is good for his fantasy managers, as long as he can stay healthy. The guaranteed starting role puts Willis on the fantasy radar as a low-end QB2, making him an intriguing low-cost trade target in dynasty fantasy football leagues this summer. He ranks as the overall QB24 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
