Kyler Murray, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins & MORE: Fantasy QB carousel PREDICTIONS for 2026

·28 min·1 clip

Kyler Murray wants release ahead of free agency, and the Cardinals still owe him a lot of money.

1. Locked On Fantasy Football focuses on the 2026 quarterback carousel around Kyler Murray, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, and other possible starters. 2. Michelle Majuk is a fantasy analyst with NFL Network, and Vinny Iyer writes about NFL fantasy and betting for SportingNews.com. 3. The episode asks which quarterbacks will start for teams that may need a new answer by Week 1 in 2026. 4. The hosts say a fourth of the league could be searching for a new starting quarterback, and they name the Cardinals, Jets, Browns, Dolphins, Vikings, Steelers, and Raiders. 5. They discuss Kyler Murray's reported wish to be released from Arizona and the possibility of a trade instead. 6. They connect Murray's situation to his large contract, the Cardinals' cap concerns, and the Jets as one possible destination. 7. They say Justin Fields may not have a starting job next year and suggest a team may have to cut him rather than find a trade partner. 8. They frame Fields, Tua Tagovailoa, and other quarterbacks as examples of a league with only 32 starting jobs and limited openings. 9. They move to the Browns and describe an open quarterback competition involving Shaduer Sanders and possible additions like Tyson Bagent, Derek Carr, and Anthony Richardson. 10. They also mention the Browns' two first-round picks and the idea of drafting another quarterback prospect such as Ty Simpson. 11. One striking point is the suggestion that Sanders may face an uphill battle because the coaches may not like his personality as much as his tools. 12. Another notable claim is that the Vikings are casting a wide net for competition for J.J. McCarthy and are exploring quarterback options for 2026. 13. The hosts say Kirk Cousins could be released by Atlanta and mention a Minnesota reunion as a logical fit because Kevin Stefanski already knows him. 14. They say Anthony Richardson wants a trade, has regained full vision in his right eye, and could be attractive because he is only 23 years old. 15. The hosts repeatedly compare Richardson's situation to Trey Lance and ask whether Minnesota could be the best place for him to restart his career. 16. They also discuss Derek Carr potentially unretiring, with possible fits including the Raiders and a backup role tied to Clint Kubiak. 17. The tone stays conversational and speculative, with rapid back-and-forth predictions rather than a formal interview format. 18. The segment uses concrete team names, contract references, and landing-spot scenarios to build a fantasy-football road map. 19. Listeners who follow NFL quarterback movement and dynasty fantasy strategy will get the most value. 20. Listeners who want game recaps or player news unrelated to offseason roster movement can skip it.
