Fantasy Football Player Notes

Sam Darnold is the QB24 in fantasy points per game with one QB1 outing this season. Among 29 qualifying passers, Darnold ranks fourth in yards per attempt, 16th in passing success rate, 14th in highly accurate throw rate, and sixth in catchable target rate. He has not played poorly, but he has seen some dips in his per-dropback efficiency this season. This was to be expected with the change in offensive coordinator in the offseason, but he was also so ridiculously efficient last season that some regression was bound to take place in 2026. Sit Darnold this week. He isn't on the streaming radar against a pass defense that has allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt, the ninth-lowest passing success rate, and the second-fewest fantasy points per dropback.
