Huddle Up: McCarthy did not seize the chance to start last season, the team brought in the dual-threat Murray, and now McCarthy is simply in a fight for the primary backup job. As such, his fantasy value is at an all-time low. Avoid him on draft day.

Huddle Up: The quarterback situation was far from ideal in Minnesota last season, but to his credit, Jefferson still managed 84 receptions and more than 1,000 yards. Murray isn't the best pure passer by any means, but he should provide enough of an upgrade to put Jefferson back in the WR1 mix.

Huddle Up: Addison has never had a 1,000 yard season, but he has caught 22 touchdowns in his three years in the NFL. Addison already benefits from playing across from Justin Jefferson, and if new starter Kyler Murray can return to form, it could lead to a career year for Addison. He should be a strong WR4, and Addison could be worth reaching for as a WR3.

Huddle Up: Mason will split carries with Aaron Jones in some capacity, but there is a chance that Mason ends up handling a majority of the work on early downs and near the goal line. He should at least be a flex play, and Mason's ceiling likely exceeds that of Jones.

Huddle Up: Jordan Mason will likely cut into his carries on early down, but Jones should have a significant role in the passing game. His ceiling will be determined by how touches are divided, but Jones should at least be a flex option, especially in PPR formats.

Huddle Up: Murray was recently named the starter, so it was no surprise that he saw limited action in the preseason opener. Injuries and inconsistent play have plagued Murray the last few years, but with solid weapons in Minnesota, he could certainly put up big numbers and finish as a QB1.

Huddle Up: Murray being in place as the starter is more of a boost to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison than anything. For Murray himself, he remains a fun starting option given that we have seen what dynamic quarterbacks can achieve in Minnesota's offense.

Huddle Up: Murray winning the quarterback job seems to be closer and closer to happening. If he is named the starter, he could become a low-end QB1 with his dual-threat ability and players around him in Minnesota.

Huddle Up: Addison may not return to practice until next week but is dealing with a minor issue. He will be the starting receiver opposite Jordan Jefferson again this season and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Raaman states that there are four locks -- Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, and Calvin Austin III -- so despite some residual name value for guys like Beckham and Smith-Schuster, nobody in this group is worth targeting in fantasy drafts as it would likely take multiple injuries for them to see meaningful action on Sundays.

Huddle Up: Although Aaron Jones is still in the picture, age isn't on is side. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Mason wrestle away a majority of the carries on early downs and eventually limit Jones to spot duty and third-down work. Mason is a RB3 with decent upside.

Huddle Up: After splitting reps almost evenly with J.J. McCarthy on Wednesday, it sounds like Murray had the opportunity to work mainly as the No. 1 quarterback. If Murray is able to win the starting job, he will be a high-upside QB2 thanks to his scrambling ability.

Huddle Up: Murray and McCarthy will be competing for the starting job for most of the season, so fantasy players will need to check on the situation later in the season. Murray is the more valuable quarterback for fantasy players, but both are No. 2 fantasy options at this point.

Huddle Up: Murray will be competing with J.J. McCarthy for the starting quarterback job during camp, and a connection with one of the starting receivers should help him. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation because Murray will likely be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: While Beckham Jr. is now favored to make the 53-man roster of the Giants, he is not a factor in fantasy football in 2026, at this point.

Huddle Up: Murray has been well ahead of McCarthy according to multiple reports this offseason, but anything can happen. Coming from Arizona, Murray has a much more proven track record of production and, more importantly for fantasy managers, stability in getting the ball to the Vikings' playmakers. If Murray were to win the job, he'd be a high-end QB2 in multiple QB leagues and a streaming option at quarterback in managed, single-QB leagues for those looking for an option to plug into their fantasy lineups.

Huddle Up: We've seen Austin, Smith-Schuster and Beckham Jr. on fantasy rosters before, but those days are likely over. Barring an injury or two to the top options on the depth chart, none of these players should be used outside of the deepest of leagues.

Huddle Up: The Vikings' starting quarterback battle is likely to spill over into the start of training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. If Murray wins the job, he can be viewed as a high-end QB2 or low-end QB1 option in most fantasy leagues, given that this is the most offensive talent he has ever had surrounding him. However, McCarthy should only be considered as a QB2 fantasy option if he is named the starter.

Huddle Up: The Vikings have not named a starting quarterback at this point, so it makes sense for Jefferson to build chemistry with both quarterbacks. Jefferson will be the main receiver no matter the quarterback and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Kyler Murray has a chance to overperform his ADP if the Vikings can work the same magic on him as they did with Sam Darnold a few years ago. He has more talent around him than ever before, and as a result, he could find himself returning to being a QB1 in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during training camp and the preseason to see which quarterback is named the starter. Murray will be more valuable if he wins the job but will likely be a high-end No. 2 quarterback in most leagues. McCarthy would be a No. 2 quarterback if he is named the starter.

Huddle Up: McCarthy played well at times during the 2025 season but may be facing an uphill battle against Murray. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because Murray will have more fantasy value if he wins the job. He probably will be a No. 2 quarterback at the start of the season but can become a No. 1 fantasy QB if he plays well.

Huddle Up: The team has Malik Nabers coming back from a major injury, while Darius Slayton is also recovering from core muscle surgery. Malachi Fields was drafted, while veterans Calvin Austin III and Darnell Mooney were brought in. Even if ODB was to find his way back to the Giants, his role would likely be minimal at best. Fantasy managers need to pay him little mind at this point.

Huddle Up: Jennings joins a crowded Vikings offense, which may hamper his fantasy effectiveness. Being behind targets like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison will make Jennings more of a bench player on rosters or a flex option in deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Jennings is one of the best receivers still available in free agency, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see where he will sign. He would be the main option in the passing game if he joins the Miami Dolphins and can be a No. 3 fantasy receiver in that situation.

Huddle Up: Addison saw a drop in his stats this past season but will continue to be a starting receiver for the Vikings for at least the next few seasons. He can be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The Vikings' starting quarterback competition will be one of the most-watched competitions in 2026, as whoever wins out will be, at the very least, in the streaming conversation for fantasy football. Murray winning out would be the better outcome for managers who draft Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, as Murray at least has a track record of providing fantasy value to wide receivers over his career, with Marvin Harrison Jr., DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and a host of others. McCarthy may have untapped upside at the position, but you have to figure that the fact that the Vikings brought in Murray doesn't bode well for the team's confidence in McCarthy being the locked-in long-term answer in Minnesota.

Huddle Up: Addison saw his numbers drop this past season but will continue to be one of the main receivers for the Vikings over the next few seasons. He can be considered a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Jennings still hasn't been signed yet by a team in free agency, where it was thought that he'd have a solid market for his services. With 113 and 90 targets in his last two seasons, Jennings has carved out a role as a solid, big-bodied possession receiver that is plenty relevant for fantasy as long as he keeps earning targets. Pay attention to where he lands in 2026, but it seems like his fantasy viability is lessening with each day he doesn't sign.
