It's March 17th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. Last season was rough for fantasy owners holding Minnesota Vikings players with poor quarterback play and a struggling run game, dragging everyone. Down. Now Kyla Murray has signed a one-year deal with the team, sparking hope for a big turnaround in their fantasy outlook. Justin Jefferson stands out as the biggest winner from this move. He finished last year as the Y receiver 21 and 65th overall in PPR leagues with 84 catches for 1048 yards and just two touchdowns. The upgrade at quarterback should push him back toward a top 10 finish at worst. Meanwhile, running backs like Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones faced tougher sledding. Murray's strong rushing ability and playmaking could cut into their touches even if the run game picks up under coach Kevin O'Connell. Murray himself gets a huge boost too. Over the last three seasons, he averaged 17.4 fantasy points per game, which would rank 13th based on recent stats.

With better weapons, a solid offensive line, and a creative play collar, he looks like a strong quarterback, two or superflex option with quarterback. One upside. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on how Murray fits in, but this signing already shifts the Vikings from bust territory to bust watch territory. He and in is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Headphones in a pillow, simple idea, surprisingly addictive, S-O-L-I-S-O-L-P-L-O.com. Made in AI.
