Draft note
by John Paulsen
In 2024, Darnold was the fantasy QB9 in what was easily the best season of his career. He threw for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns, and rushed for another 212 yards and a score. With D.K. Metcalf landing in Pittsburgh and Tyler Lockett waived, the Seahawks' receiver cupboard is a little bare, though the Seahawks added Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in free agency. As it stands, without Kevin O'Connell leading the way, and diminished weapons, Darnold is shaping up to be a mid- to low-end QB2, fantasy-wise.

MIN QB Sam Darnold - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

It certainly wasn't expected that Sam Darnold would be a top-10 fantasy option heading into Week 17 and championship week, but that's how Darnold's season has gone. Kevin O'Connell has resurrected Darnold's career (and maybe won himself Coach of the Year honors this season). Darnold gets another shot at the Packers, a team he had a very solid outing against in Week 4. Darnold went 20-of-28 for 275 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown for at least 230 yards in every game since Minnesota's Week 6 bye and has thrown multiple touchdowns in a game in five of the last six weeks. The Vikings have a chance at the No. 1 seed in the NFC and Darnold has been a key reason for that. He's QB7 on our board for championship week.
