Negative signalRole

Kubiak's departure and Fleury's unproven track record could derail Darnold's spike-week upside.

The loss of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to Brian Fleury represents a significant risk to Darnold's 2026 outlook. McKechnie notes that coaches from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree aren't guaranteed to be smashing successes. If Fleury proves to be a significant downgrade from Kubiak, Darnold's spike weeks could come crashing back to earth, potentially vindicating the market's tepid view of him.
