Outlook Kyler Murray
Fresh Start in Minnesota Offers High-Ceiling Rebound at a Bargain Cost
After securing the starting job under Kevin O'Connell in August, Kyler Murray steps into an enviable offensive environment in Minnesota. Supported by premier pass-catchers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison alongside tight end T.J. Hockenson, Murray gains an immediate talent upgrade to revitalize his passing efficiency.
While Minnesota aims to maintain a balanced attack with Aaron Jones Sr. in the backfield, Murray’s dual-threat skillset remains his fantasy engine. Our models project 3,100 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, paired with 465 rushing yards and three ground scores, providing steady weekly production.
Curiously, Murray's draft stock tumbled throughout August, sliding from the 120s down toward pick 180. That market skepticism creates an enticing draft-day bargain in 1.0 PPR leagues, where our projections view him as an underpriced QB2 capable of outperforming his suppressed late-round price tag.

Outlook Tyler Shough
Late-Round Target Poised for Year-Two Leap in New Orleans
Tyler Shough enters his second campaign firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback in New Orleans. After compiling 2,627 passing yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 appearances as a rookie, the offense is fully his to command heading into 2026.
Our projections anticipate notable growth, forecasting 3,500 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and 225 rushing yards. While early absences to Alvin Kamara and rookie Jordyn Tyson test the offense's depth, top targets like Chris Olave give Shough sufficient perimeter juice.
The draft market has cooled dramatically on him, with his ADP tumbling from around 130 in early August down to 196. Fantasy managers are largely overlooking his guaranteed snaps, transforming Shough into a high-upside value steal in multi-quarterback and superflex formats.
