STACKED’s take
Negative signalProjection
Darnold's 2026 stats down significantly; lack of Walker forcing more on his plate.
2026 season stats show significant decline: 77.4% passer rating, 6.9 yards per attempt, 40.5% success rate, and negative EPA per dropback, compared to last year's 83.2% passer rating, 7.2 yards per attempt, and 49.5% success rate; the root cause is the lack of Kenneth Walker in the running game, which has forced more responsibility onto Darnold's shoulders while defenses are no longer afraid of the Seahawks' ground attack.
