Sam Darnold
QB - Seattle Seahawks
Availability
Sam Darnold completed 18-of-27 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Seahawks 27-10 win over the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Darnold also fumbled the ball twice, losing one of them. He leads all quarterbacks in turnovers on the season which has been a consistent issue all year, but he has also made some big throws when needed. For the second straight year, he'll be playing in a Week 18 game with the No. 1 overall seed and division on the line.
Sam Darnold overcame a turnover-filled second half to lead a game-winning drive in overtime against the Rams on Thursday, completing 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller also contributed three rushes for seven yards, though his two interceptions—bringing his season total against Los Angeles to six—helped keep the game close.
Fantasy Impact
Darnold rebounded late in the contest, connecting with AJ Barner for a 26-yard touchdown to narrow the deficit in the fourth quarter. In overtime, he marched the offense 65 yards on nine plays, capping the drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba before finding Eric Saubert for the game-winning two-point conversion. This marked Darnold's third multi-touchdown effort in his last five games as he prepares for a Week 17 road test against the Panthers.
Sam Darnold completed 22-of-36 passes for 271 yards in the Seahawks 18-16 win over the Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Darnold did not throw any touchdowns, but he also didn't turn the ball over. He has struggled a bit more since the first Rams game, and he'll get the chance to redeem himself facing the Rams again on Thursday at home.
Sam Darnold completed 20-of-30 passes for 249 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Seahawks 37-9 win over the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
The recent rough stretch for Darnold continued in the first half where it was 6-6. Darnold exploded in the second half for three touchdown passes with two of them going to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and one going to Cooper Kupp. He should be a steady play for fantasy managers at home next week against the Colts.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Sam Darnold should be good to go for Week 14 against the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
In Sunday's win over the Vikings, Darnold went into the medical tent for a brief moment but he didn't miss any of the game. He was able to finish the game in the win.
