Kyler Murray is Sneaking Up the QB Rankings

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray moved up five spots to 19th place in Pro Football Focus's latest quarterback rankings. The rise occurred during the Vikings' bye week, following what Adam New notes was Murray's best game of his tenure against the New Orleans Saints. PFF highlighted Murray's 0.8 percent turnover-worthy play rate, which stands as the second-best mark across the NFL this season.

Adam New argues that Minnesota does not require Murray to become an elite top-five passer for the team to contend. Instead, New suggests that limiting turnovers alongside strong defense and special teams can drive success. With targets like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison available, New believes Murray's playmaking and rushing elusiveness give the Vikings offense significant upside over the remainder of the season.
