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.

Huddle Up: Murray will compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting quarterback job and should probably be the leading candidate at this point. He can probably be considered a high-end No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues if he wins the job with the chance to become a No. 1 fantasy quarterback during the season if he plays well.

Huddle Up: It seems unlikely that Murray would choose to sign with the Vikings unless he will be given a chance to be the starting quarterback. This would also mean that J.J. MCarthy's future with the team is in question. Murray would have some solid weapons to work with in Minnesota, but a return to QB1 status would largely depend on his health and his scrambling ability.

Huddle Up: Wentz, the well-traveled nomad who has been on five teams in the last five seasons after the previous five in Philadelphia, will likely be looking to don his seventh different uniform in his career in 2026. It doesn't seem like that jersey will be a Jets one as of right now. Wentz started five games in 2025 for the Vikings, tossing eight touchdown passes and finishing with a 2-3 record. It's unlikely Wentz's seventh team in his career will be the one to give him fantasy relevance, so we can ignore him for now.

Huddle Up: Murray's 2025 season consisted of just five games played, where he never finished better than QB16. With just one season of 25 or more passing touchdowns, Murray has been highly touted in fantasy circles but has rarely lived up to the lofty potential of being drafted No. 1 overall in 2019. With two top-seven finishes to start his career, Murray has not finished above QB10 in the last five seasons. Murray will resume his career elsewhere after seven seasons in Arizona, and he has a good chance of remaining a starting quarterback wherever he ends up. He'll be a fantasy dart throw in 2026 with the hopes he can reclaim some of his past production from the start of the decade.

Huddle Up: There was a chance that Jones would be released this offseason, but he has agreed to a reworked contract and will play for the Vikings in 2026. He will likely see a similar role next season and can be a No. 3 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Although he is only 28 years old, inconsistent quarterback play and injuries in recent years mean that Hockenson should best be viewed as a TE2 option in most fantasy leagues, barring a significant improvement in the performance of QB J.J. McCarthy in 2026. In 15 games last season, Hockenson had 51 receptions for 438 yards and three touchdowns.

Huddle Up: Jefferson finished as the WR20 in PPR leagues last season, which really hurt teams that took him in the top five or six picks. He's an elite talent, but the questions at quarterback may hold his value back to an eighth or ninth pick in the first round.

Huddle Up: Murray will be able to sign anywhere in 2026, and it is likely he will sign with a team to be able to compete right away. His fantasy value will be determined by that alone, so free agency will need to be monitored.

Huddle Up: Murray's 2025 season consisted of just five games played, where he never finished better than QB16. With just one season of 25 or more passing touchdowns, Murray has been highly touted in fantasy circles but has rarely lived up to the lofty potential of being drafted No. 1 overall in 2019. With two top-seven finishes to start his career, Murray has not finished above QB10 in the last five seasons. Murray seems likely to resume his career elsewhere after seven seasons in Arizona, but he has a good chance of remaining a starting quarterback wherever he ends up. For 2026, pay attention to where Murray lands, but he'll be a dart-throw fantasy quarterback in the hopes he can reclaim some of his past production from the start of the decade.

Huddle Up: Jones was limited to 12 games due to nagging injuries, and he averaged a career-low 4.2 yards per carry, while tying a career low with just two rushing scores. The good news is that he had zero fumbles on 132 carries, his first season since 2017 in Green Bay without putting a ball on the ground. After a career-high 1,138 rushing yards in his initial campaign in 2024, he tailed off. At 31 years old, the market isn't likely clamoring for him to be anything more than a serviceable backup, but you never know.

Huddle Up: McCarthy missed his first season due to a torn meniscus, and he was underwhelming in 2025 when given a chance at full-time starter. It didn't help that 2024 starter Sam Darnold was allowed to walk, signing with the Seattle Seahawks, who eventually won the Super Bowl. The Vikings had their guy, and let him go. The Vikings would be trying to deal McCarthy when his value is extremely low, so a team might roll the dice and take a chance on the former first-rounder. As a fantasy manager, though, you shouldn't be as exploratory.

Huddle Up: After a shaky 10 games as the starting quarterback of the Vikings in 2025, McCarthy is in a rather unstable spot for his fantasy present and future. Throwing 12 interceptions to just 11 touchdowns, McCarthy struggled with accuracy all season. The Vikings have long been rumored to be bringing in quarterback competition for McCarthy this offseason, but Minnesota may take the extra step of cutting its losses. McCarthy is an untrustworthy fantasy option right now, as consistency and improvement are needed before we can trust him in fantasy lineups in 2026 and beyond.

Huddle Up: Murray appears to be on borrowed time in Arizona, but while he prefers to hit the open market, the Cardinals may look to trade the quarterback instead. Murray is likely a QB2 wherever he ends up in 2026, but he could have QB1 upside if he can regain his scrambling ability.

Huddle Up: McCarthy will likely be facing some competition in training camp, it is just a matter of who. Depending on the name they bring in will speak on their expectations for McCarthy during the season. Regardless, however, fantasy players can avoid J.J. McCarthy until told otherwise.

Huddle Up: Hockenson was once one of the more feared tight ends in the NFL, but he has had to battle through injuries in the past few seasons, limiting his production. It would also help if the Vikings would have had some stability at QB in 2025. Hockenson is still just 28 years old, and only two seasons removed from a career-high 95 reception season with a career-best 960 receiving yards in 2023, his first full season in the Twin Cities. Heading into 2026, Hockenson has the potential to rebound, but he needs to stay healthy, and he needs JJ McCarthy, or whomever is under center, to be much better.

Huddle Up: Murray is not expected back next season, but fantasy players will need to wait for an official decision from the Cardinals. He will likely be a starting quarterback for a team in 2026 but may only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

Huddle Up: After a 2022 trade that sent Hockenson from Detroit to Minnesota, Hockenson had a banner 2023 season with 127 targets, 95 receptions, 960 yards and five touchdowns. In the following two seasons, Hockenson has produced a combined 128 targets, 92 receptions, 893 yards and just three touchdowns across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Cutting Hockenson saves Minnesota almost $9 million before June 1, but after June 1, the Vikings would shed $16 million in cap savings by letting Hockenson go. Entering his age-29 season in 2026, Hockenson hasn't put up a recent track record of fantasy success, and that production may not suddenly rebound with a new team either. That said, Hockenson may have some sporadic usefulness as a fantasy TE2 on the Vikings or elsewhere in 2026.

Huddle Up: Jones has long been an underappreciated fantasy running back, but in his age-31 season and second season with the Vikings, Jones' 2025 season saw him take a slight step back in production. Missing five games, Jones still averaged 4.2 yards per carry and posted 548 rushing yards with three total touchdowns. Minnesota is well into the red in terms of the cap threshold, so for a team looking to alleviate that huge $40.1 million negative cap, jettisoning Jones to free up almost $7 million could be in the cards. At this stage of his career, Jones could be a useful committee back for several NFL teams if he were to be cut by the Vikings. There may be some usefulness left with Jones in 2026, so for fantasy, pay attention to where he's playing football this upcoming season.

Huddle Up: Jennings will likely be one of the top receivers if he hits the free-agent market, so fantasy players should monitor his situation over the next several weeks. He has played well over the last few seasons and can be a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: It is no secret that the Bills need a go-to option at the wide receiver position, and while Addison has missed some games because of issues off the field, he has been a productive player overall. His value would see a significant boost if he ends up as Josh Allen's top target in 2026.

Huddle Up: The Cardinals will likely need to make a decision on Murray around the start of free agency, so fantasy players can monitor the situation. He should have a good chance to find a starting job if he becomes a free agent but will probably be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Murray was essentially benched at the end of last season, and it seemed inevitable that the two sides would part ways. That may still be how the situation plays out, but it sounds like the door is still open for a potential return. Murray will have QB1 upside wherever he plays, but the injury concerns are real.
