Fantasy Impact
As expected. Darnold is expected to miss 4-6 weeks as he recovers from his shoulder injury. It's entirely up in the air as to whether or not he'll even get his starting job back upon returning. Carolina recently signed former franchise icon Cam Newton to take over as the team's starting signal caller. Darnold posted an ugly 2:8 TD:INT ratio over his final five games.
