Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Seattle Sports on Monday that quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle) had a little bit of an ankle issue during Sunday's blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings, but that he "should be good to go" for Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Darnold was seen going into the medical tent on the sideline several times on Sunday, but the injury wasn't serious, and it shouldn't keep the 28-year-old from playing this weekend. He didn't need to do much in the easy 26-0 win over the Vikings, as Darnold went 14-for-26 passing for a season-low 128 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in Week 13. Darnold should be able to bounce back against Atlanta and will be in play as a QB streamer in fantasy football as long as he doesn't aggravate his ankle issue.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 14 of his 26 passes for 128 yards in a 26-0 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. He also lost a fumble.

Fantasy Spin: With the Seahawks controlling the game over a hapless Minnesota offense, Darnold didn't have to do much heavy lifting. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the dominant defensive effort led to rough statistical numbers for Darnold and company. Expect a much better showing from Darnold against Atlanta in Week 14.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should have a fine game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Although Minnesota boasts a tough defense, Darnold has been able to consistently toss a couple of touchdown passes per game this season. Additionally, Darnold's connection with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has helped buoy a QB2 season from the veteran quarterback. Minnesota has a stout rushing defense, so expect the Seahawks to lean heavily on play-action passes. While Minnesota has a chaotic, attacking passing defense, Seattle should be able to find room to throw in this game. What is more, the Vikings will be starting rookie quarterback Max Brosmer in Week 13 with J.J. McCarthy (concussion) still in concussion protocol. As such, the Seahawks should be able to force short fields with an attacking defense of their own. With no teams on a bye this week, you may not need to stream Darnold. However, if you have struggled to find consistent quarterback play elsewhere, you could do much worse than Darnold in Week 13.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold avoided mistakes and delivered another efficient performance in a Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans, completing 16 of 26 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. After turning it over seven times in the past two games, Darnold took advantage of a poor Titans defense and put up his best fantasy performance since eviscerating the Washington Commanders for 330 yards and four touchdowns in Week 9. The 28-year-old repeatedly looked for superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba and delivered a few beautiful deep balls for explosive gains, including a 63-yard touchdown. Darnold likely shouldn't be viewed as an every-week starter for fantasy purposes due to the low pass volume and poor track record against top-flight defenses. But he gets a revenge spot in Week 13 against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 16 of his 26 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans. Darnold had seven turnovers over his last two games coming into this week, so it was refreshing to see him play clean, turnover-free football, albeit in a softer matchup against a subpar Titans defense. The veteran quarterback had his best fantasy performance since Week 9 and will remain in the mix as a high-end QB2 for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings in an exciting revenge game scenario. With that being said, Seattle could opt to go run-heavy against the Vikings, taking the ball out of Darnold's hands from time to time. Minnesota surrendered 146 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to the Packers in Week 12, whereas Jordan Love only threw for 139 yards and no scores.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 16-of-26 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans, and he added a run for minus-1 yard.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold has completed better than 61.5 percent of his pass attempts in each of the past four outings, but he has just two multi-TD games in the past five outings, and he has just one 300-game in the past six starts. He remains more of a top-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is in the streaming conversation in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Despite two horrific fantasy outings in a row, Tennessee presents a great chance for Darnold to get back on track. The Titans have been one of the worst defenses in the league in just about every category. The only reason they are middle-of-the-pack against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy is because they are often down by so many points early in games that teams turn to the run to salt away their victory. Darnold is coming off a performance in which he tossed four interceptions against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 10, his services were hardly needed because the Arizona Cardinals fell behind so early in the game that the Seahawks essentially coasted after one quarter. The Titans could present a similar situation in Week 12, but look for Darnold to throw a couple of touchdown passes before this game gets out of hand. He is a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in Week 12.

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 29-of-44 passes for 279 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: As good as Darnold has been, the narrative about him flopping in the biggest of games will continue until he does something to change it. The fact the Seahawks had a kick to win the game despite how he played is borderline amazing. While this won't likely change much in the long run (and Darnold should bounce back against Tennessee), it remains a problem in fantasy and reality.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 29 of his 44 passes for 279 yards and four interceptions in a 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold had a nightmare outing against the Rams, and he has now turned the ball over seven times in the last two games. Although he has been solid overall this season, his recent performances are a reminder that he is a more of a matchup-based QB1 than a weekly starter. That being said, Darnold could bounce back in Week 12 when he takes on Tennessee.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is not someone you should look to stream this week. Darnold has been on a tear of late. He has been lighting up opposing defenses left and right. Week 11 will present the toughest task of the season. Seattle will travel to Los Angeles to face an excellent Rams defense. The Rams are No. 9 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy this season. They have allowed some wide receivers to get loose, but quarterbacks have been stifled. Additionally, despite the excellent nature of both of these offenses, the real defining factor in this game will be each team's defense. As such, this could be a lower-scoring game than anticipated or desired. Darnold's overall passing volume could be much lower than usual. With that in mind, it is best to look elsewhere at quarterback this week. Darnold checks in as a mid-tier QB2. However, roster Darnold through this matchup because better days are ahead.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 10 of his 12 passes for 178 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 44-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. He also lost a pair of fumbles.

Fantasy Spin: The Seahawks surged to a 35-0 lead and led 38-7 at halftime. As a result, Darnold didn't have to throw the ball much, leading to a rough stat line for fantasy purposes. Expect a more typical performance from Darnold in Week 11 when Seattle faces the Los Angeles Rams in a divisional battle.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should be a quality option at the position in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Darnold has been on a tear recently. He is coming off an impressive four-touchdown performance against the Commanders in Week 9. Darnold is comfortable in the offense, and it shows. The matchup with the Cardinals is not scary. While Arizona does boast a solid defense, Darnold already took advantage of this matchup in Week 4. The Cardinals have not seen an offense as dialed in as Seattle's yet this season. As such, Darnold has a great chance to exceed the 16.08 fantasy points he scored in Week 4. As long as wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba continues to play at a high level, Darnold will succeed for fantasy. Start him as a quality QB1 in Week 10.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has put himself on the fringes of the MVP conversation with the way he has played so far in 2025. Through eight games, the 28-year-old has completed 70.4% of his pass attempts for 2,084 yards, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Darnold is only averaging 27 pass attempts per game, but he's logged a league-leading 9.6 yards per pass attempt. Darnold has recorded at least 295 passing yards in each of his last four starts and has thrown 11 touchdown passes over that stretch. He's a must-start player in two-quarterback fantasy formats, and Darnold deserves starting consideration in single-QB leagues with 12 or more teams as well. Seattle will host the division rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 10

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 21-of-24 passes for 330 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in a blowout win over Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Darnold now has 2,084 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions through eight games this year. He's right on pace to record similar numbers he posted in Minnesota last year in what was a career season. In short, Darnold has arrived. While his rushing stats will always hold down his fantasy ceiling, Darnold clearly looks like a QB1 for the foreseeable future with no drop-off in sight.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold torched the Washington Commanders' defense in a 38-14 blowout win on Sunday night, completing 21 of 24 pass attempts for 330 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Darnold was on fire to start the game, posting a perfect 158.3 passer rating while completing all 16 passes and throwing four touchdowns in the first half. His receivers were running open all night, and he consistently delivered on time and on target. The 28-year-old has continued to excel in his first season in Seattle under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Darnold's connection with superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the most potent in the league, adding another 129 yards on eight catches on Sunday night against Washington. Darnold will head back home for a divisional matchup against the Cardinals in Week 10.
