PositiveProjectionNov 6, 2026
Matthew Berry included Drew Lock on his Love list for Week 9 as a QB16 projection against Arizona. Lock previously threw for 235 yards and 3 TDs against Arizona in Week 2, and with Sam Darnold absent again in Week 9, Lock faces Arizona a second time. The matchup features two elite backups (Lock vs. Gardner Minshew, who threw 3 TDs the prior week), creating ceiling upside in an unpredictable game between backups.PositiveMatchupNov 5, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Drew Lock as QB16 for Week 9 vs. ARZ. The source highlights Lock's Week 2 performance against Arizona (235 yards, 3 TDs) and notes he faces the same opponent this week. Matthew Berry expresses enthusiasm for Lock making Berry's Love list, calling it 'for the romantics' and suggesting both Lock and Gardner Minshew (who threw 3 TDs last week) deserve Love consideration.PositiveRoleNov 5, 2026
Lock takes over as Vikings starter with Darnold out; he's very much on the streaming radar for Week 9 vs. the Cardinals.PositiveProjectionSep 25, 2026
The source is bullish on Drew Lock as a backup QB, noting his game log across 29 starts shows eight separate +20-point fantasy outings, including 235 passing yards and 3 TDs last week. Lock is ranked QB23 in the source's projections and is positioned as a sleeper play, with the source stating 'I'm Drew Lock-pilled' and praising his ability to keep an offense on schedule.PositiveMatchupSep 16, 2026
Lock was more than serviceable as an in-game injury fill-in in Week 1 (72.7% completion rate, 9.4 AY/A) for starter Sam Darnold (hip), who is doubtful for Week 2. Coming off the season opener, Lock has a four-day rest-and-preparation edge against the Cardinals, who were No. 32 in defensive dropback SR (52.7%) last year and might be without CB Garrett Williams (Achilles). HC Mike Macdonald historically has his team ready to play off a win (14-7-1 ATS, 26.7% ROI) and on the road (12-4-1 ATS, 41.2% ROI).PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
After Sam Darnold left with a hip injury after only 5 offensive snaps, Drew Lock looked solid in relief with 72.7% CMP, 187 pass yards, 14 rush yards, and 1 TD/0 INT. Darnold will not be ready for Week 2, so Lock will get at least one more start. The source recommends picking him up in superflex formats.
