Summary

Matthew Coller talks with Fantasy Life's Ian Hartitz about how Kyler Murray fits with the Minnesota Vikings and how high we should predict the ceiling will be on his 2026 performance. What does it mean for JJ McCarthy? Also is the Vikings running back situation ripe for a draft pick? Or are Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason enough? How about Jonah Coleman?

Hey, everybody.

Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here, the show presented by Fanduil.

0:30.4

And on the show today, Ian Hartett's from Fantasy Life.

0:34.5

All right, welcome back to the show, Ian.

0:37.3

Well, you're wearing all your Ohio State stuff on the day that Justin Fields gets traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. We don't have to break that one down. But that's where we get in the off season. How crazy is it that the first day of free agency was like the wildest day of our lives and then after that it's like now

0:55.6

we're on to justin field's trades and it's like the first three hours or so a free agency especially

1:01.4

man i was thrown out that uh you know first time i saw was that game of thrones uh just everyone hated

1:07.0

kind of last season so it's like that meme of the horse drawing that's so eloquently perfect

1:10.8

to start and then it just fades off and something a four-year-old would do by the end so that's kind of last season. So it's like that meme of the horse drawing. That's so eloquently perfect to start.

1:11.3

And then it just fades off and something a four-year-old would do by the end. So that's kind of how it goes, though. Obviously, only, you know, a handful guys we truly care about. So everyone pretty much on the draft now. So we'll see what happens with the field. Still hoping to kind of get that first Ohio State quarterback in, you know, decades to actually do something at the NFL level.

1:29.3

We got Stroud out there too.

1:30.7

But yeah, we'll see what happens. Good, a good landing spot for him to maybe get stuff going again. We've seen weird things happen, Matthew. Just chiefs, then we'll go to the Vikings, and then it'll be fully a full circle moment. The, uh, yeah, the carousel of quarterbacks just in general has been quite interesting where none of the

1:46.6

quarterbacks were all that beloved or favorable for any situation. But if we were going to find one

1:52.3

that was the best fit and the best landing spot, I think we could pretty easily say that's Kyler

1:57.4

Murray with the Minnesota Vikings. So as I try to cover Kyler Murray from all angles, here's what I want to know.

2:05.1

Like the best in the world at projecting players is people like yourself at Fantasy Life.

2:11.4

How will you go about your early projections for what you expect from Kyler Murray's and Minnesota Viking.

2:19.9

I think he'll put up, you know, the fancy numbers that we're looking for, obviously in our

2:23.9

neck of the woods. I understand some of you guys just real life football fans. That is very cool.

2:27.7

But I maintain, if we just called fantasy points, like impact points, we'd have a much better,

2:32.5

you know, just relationship from fantasy to real life. We're still talking to ours and touchdowns and the same stuff. But the one big difference maker we do see in fantasy that I think can separate us from more real life analysis. It's Russian quarterbacks and it's kind of like receiving heavy running backs. Those are the two kind of, I guess, leaderboards where it starts to get thrown off. And Kyler, as much as we can talk about is passing.

2:53.0

We won't a second.
