Draft note

by John Paulsen

On a per game basis, Darnold has produced at a fantasy QB3 level in his first two seasons. He lost his best big-play threat (Robby Anderson), but the Jets replaced him with another (Breshad Perriman) and added Dezel Mims via the draft. The team also invested in the offensive line, which should help since Darnold had the league’s highest rate of dropbacks under pressure, per PFF. Darnold posted the 9th-highest adjusted completion percentage when throwing from a clean pocket, so if the offensive line can gel quickly, Darnold could become a valuable streamer in his third season.

Sam Darnold back in lineup, Adam Gase takes back playcalling

Chris Mortensen

Jets QB Sam Darnold will be back into the starting lineup Sunday against the Dolphins and head coach Adam Gase will resume playcalling duties.

Fantasy Impact:

As Mortensen notes, this pretty much ties the future of the two together, though it’s obviously well-expected neither will be with the team in 2021. The offense started looking reasonable over the last few weeks with Dowell Loggains calling the shots. The offense likely will fall back under Gase’s direction, so proceed with caution against a very solid Dolphins defense.

NYJ QB Sam Darnold - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Las Vegas
Sam Darnold has been in and out of the lineup, but was back on the field last week against Miami. He threw for 197 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions. He hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since September 27th.

Darnold faces a Raiders defense that is ranked 15th in aFPA to quarterbacks. Vegas looked awful last week in Atlanta and with the Jets offense playing better in recent weeks, Darnold has a chance to make some noise.

We don't recommend Darnold to be in your lineup, but it will be interesting to see if the Jets offense can figure some things out down the stretch.
