From the episode

I've had this, like, weird gut feeling about Sam Darnold all week... I could see Darnold throwing 302 touchdowns in this game specifically because, like you said, this Niners offense is that good... this is the second best game total on the slate, and I don't think anybody's really going to play Darnold.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Darnold is a low-owned tournament QB with upside if 49ers push Seattle.

Sam Darnold is positioned as a contrarian low-owned tournament quarterback play despite being overpriced on DraftKings. The source has a gut feeling about him and believes he could throw for 30+ yards and touchdowns in this game specifically because the 49ers offense is strong enough to push Seattle, creating a tight game script. With the second-best game total on the slate and low ownership, Darnold represents tournament value.
