• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: QBs to Sit

  4D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Darnold hasn't gone rotten yet in reality, but he's struggling as a Fantasy quarterback heading into Week 14 at Atlanta. He's scored 6.9 Fantasy points or less in three of his past four games, and he has three touchdowns and eight turnovers (five interceptions) over that span. I'm not overly concerned about the matchup for Darnold, but it's more about his mistakes and potential lack of attempts. He's had more than 26 pass attempts just once since Week 7, and Seattle might not have to throw the ball much in this game to win. I would only start Darnold in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 14.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Not listed on practice report

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Darnold (ankle) isn't listed on the Seahawks' first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Darnold paid multiple visits to the sideline tent during this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, but he didn't miss any snaps until garbage time of the blowout win. On Monday, coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune that Darnold was dealing with an ankle issue but should be "good to go" Week 14 in Atlanta. With no designation to speak of on the team's first practice report of the week, Darnold will be under center for Seattle this Sunday.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Dealing with minor ankle issue

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold was dealing with an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Vikings, but the quarterback "should be good to go" for Week 14 against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Darnold was in the blue medical tent on the sideline a couple times against Minnesota, but he didn't miss any offensive snaps prior to giving way to Drew Lock for the final drive of the 26-0 win. Darnold might be listed on the injury report this week, but it sounds like it would be a surprise to see him have an injury designation ahead of next Sunday's game against Atlanta.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Pedestrian numbers in easy win

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Darnold completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one fumble lost in Sunday's 26-0 rout of the Vikings. Darnold struggled against the strength of Minnesota's defense as Seattle leaned on its ground game and dominant defense to secure victory in Week 13. It was the 28-year-old's lowest passing total through 12 starts with Seattle and -- depending on how leagues penalize interceptions -- his worst fantasy score to date this season. Darnold has been a bit of a boom-or-bust asset in fantasy by providing managers with six multi-score games and three with zero touchdowns. Look for the signal-caller to get back on track next Sunday against an Atlanta squad heading in the wrong direction.

• Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Sleeper QBs

  9D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Darnold scored 21.7 Fantasy points in Week 12 at Tennessee, which ended his two-game slide of scoring 6.9 Fantasy points or less. He should continue to play well at home against the Vikings, which is a revenge game. Minnesota isn't an easy opponent, but the Vikings have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks on the road to score at least 20.1 Fantasy points. Darnold is worth using as a low-end starter in deeper leagues in Week 13.
