From the article

Sam Darnold was largely carried to the Super Bowl title by an excellent supporting cast last season, though he had his moments along the way. He reached the 4,000-yard and 25-touchdown thresholds through the air for a second consecutive regular season and threw for 346 yards and three TDs in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, though Darnold also had a league-worst 20 regular-season turnovers and threw for a meager 202 yards and one TD on 38 pass attempts against the Patriots in Seattle's Super Bowl win. You can't write Darnold off completely, but he's unlikely to post a gaudy stat line against New England's stout pass defense.

Darnold's turnover issues and poor Super Bowl performance vs. Patriots make him a fade for DFS.
