Expert Note
View More NotesSam Darnold is the QB26 in fantasy points per game, but his game against Washington is still carrying all of the water there. In his two starts since that game, he hasn't had more than 14.3 fantasy points in either outing. Among 32 qualifying passers, Darnold is 17th in yards per attempt, 26th in passer rating, 23rd in passing success rate, and he has the highest turnover-worthy pass rate. Sit Darnold again this week with a tough matchup incoming. Kansas City has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per attempt, the third-lowest passing success rate, the ninth-lowest CPOE, and the second-fewest fantasy points per dropback.
Player News
View More NewsSam 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.
