2026 draft season · QB
Mahomes versus Murray is a quarterback question between the sport's best passer and one of its best runners. Mahomes's passing production has been the steadiest in the league for years even as his weapons turned over; Murray's rushing gives him a weekly scoring element that Mahomes's game does not include. Our value-over-replacement board currently favors Murray on rushing base in fantasy formats — the live order is on the quarterback rankings page, and the figures behind it are subscriber-only at $5/month or $40/year.
Mahomes's weekly passing volume is the most reliable in the sport, and volume is what pays at the position. His seasons have never depended on who was catching the ball.
Murray's rushing turns a mediocre passing day into a usable fantasy week, which is the specific thing a late-round quarterback is for.
Kansas City's offense is the best environment in the league for a passer, though its receiver turnover has introduced more variance into Mahomes's weeks than in earlier seasons.
Arizona's supporting cast is narrower, but Murray's own legs are the weapon that covers for it.
Mahomes costs a real pick; Murray costs a late one. In one-quarterback leagues, that price difference is the entire argument for the cheaper man.
In superflex, Mahomes's passing base is the safer foundation and the gap closes.

Our value-over-replacement board currently favors Murray in fantasy formats on rushing base, while Mahomes remains the better passer by a wide margin. The public top five at quarterback is on the quarterback rankings page.
In superflex and two-quarterback leagues, yes — elite passing volume is scarcest there. In one-quarterback leagues the position is too deep to pay for.
Projected points and value-over-replacement figures for both are subscriber-only, at $5/month or $40/year.
