Kyler Murray Fantasy Overview

Vikings QB Kyler Murray's status for Monday night's game vs. the Bills is "at best up in the air," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter adds that QB Carson Wentz is trending toward starting that game. Murray came out of last week's loss to the Lions with what the team called hamstring tightness, although we believe it's likely a low-grade strain. We'll track his practice participation over the next few days, but fantasy managers should not be planning on having Murray for Week 9 lineups.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray dealt with hamstring tightness late in the Week 8 loss to the Lions, HC Kevin O'Connell said afterward. Murray never left the game. "We'll look at it, obviously, and do what we need to do," Murray said. We'll keep an eye on him this coming week, but it sounds like he should be ready for next Monday night's game vs. the Bills.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray enjoyed his best outing as a Viking in Sunday's win over the Saints. He threw for 229 yards and a TD in the victory, completing 80% of his 30 attempts. Murray added 51 yards on 10 carries. That included a mere four designed rushes and three kneel-downs to close out the game. Remove those three plays, and we're talking 7 carries for 54 yards, a nice 7.7-yard average.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray posted 247 scoreless yards in Sunday’s win over Miami, adding 16 yards on the ground. Murray took a conservative approach without Jefferson, leading to a comically low 4.9-yard average depth of target and an excellent 73.0% completion rate.
