Kyler Murray 'still acclimating' to MIN offense
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Kyler Murray is still adjusting to the Vikings’ progression-based passing offense, with the team operating conservatively on offense despite a strong defense; through Week 7, Murray ranks low among quarterbacks in EPA per pass attempt and fantasy points per drop back.
- The Vikings have won five straight games with five or fewer touchdowns, a rare feat in the NFL, but their offensive struggles persist, highlighted by Murray's modest passing stats and reliance on rushing yards.
- Injury updates include Vega Ioane's MCL injury sidelining him for an extended period, though not long-term, impacting Baltimore’s offensive line performance.
- The Eagles face offensive challenges with Tanner McKee under center, showing middling production amid injuries to key receivers, while Dallas players like Javonte Williams and CeeDee Lamb delivered strong performances in Week 7.
- Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to a win over the Eagles with three touchdown passes, maintaining his status as a fantasy QB1, while Javonte Williams' career-high rushing yards reestablish him as a top fantasy running back for Week 8.
