• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Redeems himself late in OT win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Darnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for seven yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night. He also threw a pair of two-point conversion passes. Darnold threw his fifth and sixth interceptions against the Rams this season in the second half, with the first pick leading to a Blake Corum one-yard touchdown one play later. However, the veteran signal-caller bounced back with a 26-yard touchdown strike to AJ Barner with just over six minutes remaining in regulation, and he then led a nine-play, 65-yard march in overtime that he capped off with a four-yard touchdown toss to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Head coach Mike Macdonald then opted to go for the game-winning two-point conversion, and Darnold delivered once again by finding Eric Saubert to seal the comeback victory. Darnold's multi-touchdown tally was his third in the last five games, and he'll look to carry over the late-game momentum into a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: QBs to Sit

  4D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Darnold faced the Rams in Week 11 in Los Angeles and had a disastrous game with four interceptions, and he scored just 4.3 Fantasy points. He also faced the Rams in the playoffs in 2024 with the Vikings and scored just 13.7 Fantasy points, so this is a bad matchup for him. Darnold has scored more than 11.3 Fantasy points just twice in his past six outings, and it's tough to trust him at this point in the season. He's barely worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Struggles in red zone Sunday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Darnold completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 271 yards while gaining five yards on four carries in Sunday's 18-16 win over Indianapolis. Darnold struggled to get Seattle's offense over the hump in the opponent's red zone, resulting in a franchise-record six field goals being made in Sunday's narrow victory. The 28-year-old didn't leave fantasy managers empty-handed after accruing his highest passing total since Week 11 against the Rams. Darnold will actually face the Rams again in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks are hoping that their quarterback won't see any ghosts this time around after throwing four interceptions in a losing effort when the NFC West rivals met earlier this season.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Sleeper QBs

  9D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Darnold had a standout performance in Week 14 at Atlanta with 28.3 Fantasy points, and he should have the chance for a solid encore against the Colts in Week 15. Trevor Lawrence just scored 28.4 Fantasy points against Indianapolis in Week 14, and the Colts are down cornerbacks Sauce Gardner (calf) and Charvarius Ward (concussion). There's always the risk of a lack of pass attempts for Darnold, but the matchup at home is worth trusting him as a low-end starter in all leagues.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Three TDs in Sunday's rout

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Darnold completed 20 of 30 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons. He added 23 rushing yards on three carries. The two teams traded field goals in the first half before Darnold got going after halftime, as he tossed a 28-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the third quarter before connecting with Cooper Kupp and JSN on red-zone scores in the fourth. Darnold now has a 22:11 TD:INT through 13 games this season, including three games with three-plus touchdowns, and he'll look to keep the Seahawks on track for the playoffs in a Week 15 home clash against the Colts.
