Former Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is signing a one-year deal with the Vikings, per sources. Murray now will become part of a QB room that includes former No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy. With Murray already owed $36.8 million from Arizona, his one-year contract with the Vikings will be for the veteran league minimum. (Adam Schefter on X)

FF Today's Take: McCarthy is not going to beat out Murray for the starting job in Minnesota this season. In all likelihood, the Vikings will be looking for a QB in the 2027 draft. For now, Murray lands in probably the best spot possible under HC Kevin O'Connell and with arguably the best wide receiver in the league. Murray played in just five games last season due to a sprained foot.

1/02/26 J.J. McCarthy back in the saddle for Minnesota. Missed Week 17 with a hand injury

Head Coach Kevin O'Connell has announced that J.J. McCarthy will be the starting QB this Sunday for #GBvsMIN (Vikings on X)

He's not much of a fantasy asset even in a week that predictable points at the quarterback position will be hard to come by.
