Sam Darnold throws one TD in Week 7

Sam Darnold completed 20 of his 28 passes for 257 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding two rushes for 17 yards in a 20-3 win over the Chiefs in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 28-yard score in the second quarter. The veteran quarterback wasn't perfect but he looked much better than he did in Week 6's overtime loss to the Broncos. Darnold has now thrown eight touchdowns and eight interceptions in six games. He will be a low-end QB2 in Week 8 vs. the Bears.

Sam Darnold struggles in loss to Denver

Sam Darnold completed 27-of-51 passes for 278 yards and two interceptions in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday. He also ran twice for 19 yards.

Fantasy Impact

It was not a good night for Darnold, whose performance led to questions of benching, which HC Mike MacDonald quickly shut down. Darnold is still the Seahawks starter, but more will be asked and expected of him in the coming weeks as Seattle looks to right the ship.

Sam Darnold not considering being benched per HC Mike Macdonald

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said he is not considering benching Sam Darnold.

Fantasy Impact

This comes one day after Darnold threw two more interceptions in a close loss where the Seahawks defense dominated. He is now up to seven interceptions on the season despite missing essentially the first two weeks where Lock played well and took care of the ball. It appears Darnold will remain the quarterback in Week 7 against the Chiefs.

Sam Darnold completed 13-of-22 passes for 168 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Seahawks 30-23 win over the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold threw an interception on the Seahawks first offensive play of the game. He didn't seem to be comfortable in the pocket for most of the afternoon. He'll be a QB2 next week against the 49ers.
