Player Notes
Nov 9 8:13pm CT

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.

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.

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.

Seahawks' QB Sam Darnold passed for 330 yards on 21-of-24 with four touchdowns in Sunday's win in Washington.

Nov 2 10:23pm CT

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 21-of-24 passes for 330 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. With a blowout score, he was rested for the second half of the fourth quarter. QB Drew Lock mopped up.

Fantasy Spin: Jayden Daniels was injured on the drive before, likely with a serious ailment, and head coach Mike Macdonald saw enough. He did not send his starting quarterback in with the game already well decided. Darnold is playing great football, and he and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are on another plane right now. Darnold can be considered a low-end QB1 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 10 and beyond.

Hopefully, you rostered Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (chest) through his bye week because he draws a great matchup with the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The Commanders' defense has had trouble stopping opposing passing offenses with a leaky secondary. Darnold should have no issues spreading the ball around to his various wide receivers all day. Prior to a tough matchup with the Texans in Week 7, Darnold had notched five straight games with at least 16.08 fantasy points. While those are no world-beating numbers, they are enough to anchor your fantasy team at the quarterback position. Darnold's superpower this year has been his lack of turnovers. The Commanders have had difficulty forcing turnovers all season long. They only have four interceptions in eight games. Darnold should be rostered for the rest of the season as a QB2 with upside. However, he should absolutely be in lineups in a week in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles, and their respective quarterbacks, are on a bye. Darnold was dealing with a chest injury all week, but he logged three full practice days. The injury should be of no concern.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (chest) practiced in full on Friday, Oct. 31, and no longer appears on the injury report.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold has played well this year, and the Commanders' secondary has been a problem for them in 2025. He is worth a start in Week 9 as a low-end QB1 with the potential to perform well.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (chest) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.

Fantasy Spin: With two full sessions under his belt, Darnold appears to be on track to play against the Washington Commanders in Week 9. He has a golden opportunity to put up big numbers against a Washington secondary that has struggled so far this season, and Darnold is a perfect streaming option if you need a QB1.

Oct 30 12:00am CT

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has enjoyed a strong start to his first season with the team, completing 68.2% of his passes for 1,754 yards, 12 touchdowns, and four interceptions through seven games. Darnold has established a strong connection with star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and has peppered him with a league-high 34.7% target share. The 28-year-old has been the league's most efficient passer, averaging 9.1 yards per attempt, but it's come on limited volume, with just 27.4 pass attempts per game, ranking 29th in the league. Darnold has appeal as a weekly streamer in the right matchups, but he doesn't have the pass volume to be a reliable weekly starter for fantasy. He does have a great matchup in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders and is ranked as RotoBaller's QB15.

Oct 29 6:33pm CT

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (chest) was able to take part in a full practice session Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Fantasy Spin: While a setback is certainly possible, it appears Darnold is in line to be just fine for Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. With Washington ranking 29th in the NFL with 2,087 passing yards allowed, and an NFL-worst 8.4 yards per pass attempt, it's a very favorable matchup for Darnold. He has low-end QB1 fantasy appeal this week, especially if your primary option has a bye or difficult matchup.

From TheHuddle

Oct 21 2:23am CT

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 17 of 31 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Darnold also threw an interception and took two sacks, including one in his own end zone where he fumbled the ball, resulting in a Texans touchdown.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold dropped some dimes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Monday night, but outside of that he didn't play great, low-lighted by failing to protect the football on a sack, turning what would've been a safety into a TD for the Texans that let them back in the game. The veteran has been hit or miss from a statistical standpoint this season with Monday marking the third time he's finished with fewer than 250 yards and just one TD. He's a low-end QB2 that can deliver here and there, but it looks increasingly unlikely that we'll see the Vikings version of Darnold in 2025.
