FantasyPros Articles on Sam Darnold

Darnold falls despite real-life success; QB22 last year in run-first Seahawks offense.

A steady faller, and the notes explain why the market is right to cool on him for fantasy even as he thrives in real life. Seattle finished 25th in neutral passing rate and dead last in passing rate when trailing, an offense built to run.
