Murray missed 12 games in 2025 with a foot injury, failing to play a full season for the fourth time in five years. His five games played looked a lot like the previous season when he relied almost entirely on short passes, threw too few TDs and was quick to run. Murray's 6.0-yard average target depth ranked 38th of 40 QBs with at least 160 attempts as just 28 percent of his passes went 10-plus yards downfield (34th). His career-low 5.9 YPA ranked 39th, and, like the year before, he was on pace for only about 20 TD passes over a full schedule. The lone bright spot was his rushing, where he averaged about 35 yards per game (a near 600-yard pace). The Cardinals released Murray in March, and he quickly landed in Minnesota to displace 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy as the starting quarterback. The Vikings' offensive scheme and surrounding talent are major upgrades for Murray, who is now in the best set-up of his career with coach Kevin O'Connell calling plays. Justin Jefferson is one of the league's best wide receivers, supported by quality complementary targets in Jordan Addison, newcomer Jauan Jennings, TE T.J. Hockenson and RB Aaron Jones. Murray's running could be scaled back some in Minnesota, but he's still a strong bet to rank top five in rushing yards. The biggest doubts entail his ability to stay healthy and adapt to a more downfield-oriented passing game.
