Sam Darnold strong in preseason opener
by Mark Leipold | Vikings Correspondent | Fri, Aug 9th 8:52am EDT
Sam Darnold completed 4-of-5 pass attempts for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' preseason loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Darnold is picking up right where he left off. He had the highest QBR in the NFL in the month of December last year, and is a prime breakout candidate. As the youngest QB to start in NFL history, he can be forgiven for not lighting it up right away. Darnold's biggest concern for fantasy purposes is a weak supporting cast, so he cannot be considered in the range with the QB1 candidates. However, in Superflex/2QB leagues, he's a great second option late in drafts.
