Darnold completed 20 of 28 passes for 257 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs. He added two rushing attempts for 17 yards. Darnold threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the second quarter to give the Seahawks a 10-0 lead, but Darnold's end-zone interception from the 3-yard line in the final minute of the first half allowed the Chiefs to stay within striking distance. Seattle's dominant defense made sure Darnold's eighth interception in five starts since returning from a glute injury wouldn't prove too costly. He has matched that interception total with eight touchdown passes over that span. Darnold and the 4-3 Seahawks will play at home in primetime again Week 8, hosting the Bears on MNF.

Darnold is slumping heading into Week 7 against Kansas City, and he's only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. He has scored 17.3 Fantasy points or less in three games in a row against the Chargers, 49ers and Broncos, and it won't get any easier against the Chiefs, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins in Week 4 is the lone quarterback with more than 13.4 Fantasy points against Kansas City, and I'm not expecting Darnold to end his slump in this matchup.

Darnold completed 27 of 51 passes for 278 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed twice for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass. Darnold's final passing yardage total appears perfectly acceptable from a fantasy standpoint, but the veteran quarterback couldn't produce anywhere near enough scoring and also committed a pair of critical turnovers. While Darnold's first interception didn't lead to any points, it came at the Broncos' 31-yard line with 1:31 remaining and could have cost Seattle the game had the Seahawks not gotten another opportunity with the ball by subsequently forcing a three-and-out from Denver. Darnold's second pick did ultimately lead to the loss, as it came on the first drive of overtime at the Seahawks' 43-yard line to set the Broncos up on the edge of field-goal range. Darnold's yardage total was his second highest of the season, but he's been much more mistake-prone while throwing seven interceptions, half his 2025 total. Darnold may have a tough time atoning in Week 7 as well, as the Chiefs will pay a visit for a Sunday night showdown on Oct. 25.

Darnold has struggled as a Fantasy quarterback in each of his past two games against the Chargers and 49ers with a combined 27.6 Fantasy points over that span. He's passed for less than 200 yards in each outing and has three total touchdowns and three interceptions. The Broncos are banged up defensively heading into Week 6, but Denver should be able to keep Darnold in check in what should be a low-scoring game with a projected total of 43.5 points. I would only start Darnold in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Darnold completed 18 of 29 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers. He added one rushing attempt for five yards. Darnold threw another two interceptions, bringing him up to five in three full games this season after he had a league-worst 20 turnovers in the 2025 regular season. His lone touchdown pass was a 16-yarder to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the third quarter, on which the star wide receiver did most of the work after the catch. Darnold is in no danger of losing the starting job ahead of Thursday's Week 6 home game against the Broncos considering he has earned a long leash coming off a Super Bowl title, but it's worth noting that backup Drew Lock completed 72.9 percent of his passes while playing turnover-free football to lead Seattle to a pair of wins while Darnold was sidelined by a glute injury earlier in the year.
