Sam Darnold Fantasy

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 23 of 36 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a win over the Bills Sunday. Darnold did what he had to do to secure a sloppy win in rainy conditions with Buffalo resting several starters, but did not inspire confidence he'll be a top-10 quarterback for fantasy going into next season. Darnold finished his sophomore campaign with 2,825 yards with 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 13 games played. The Jets' brass has already committed to head coach Adam Gase for 2020 so Darnold will have consistency with the offensive system for the first time in his pro career. Darnold has the talent to be a very good NFL QB, but will need to show more than he has to be more than a QB2 with upside next draft season.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has made strides in his sophomore season in limiting turnovers, but he is still lacking the big-play ability to make him a startable QB in fantasy. Darnold has thrown for more than 300 yards just once since Week 6 and has more than two passing touchdowns in a game just once all season. Things won't get easier in Week 17 with a road trip to Buffalo lined up for the Jets. The Bills allow the third-fewest passing yards per game this season and held Darnold to just 175 yards back in Week 1. Darnold is a low-end starter in two-QB leagues but is best left on the bench in most fantasy matchups.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 16 of 26 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown as the Jets played spoiler vs the Steelers Sunday in New Jersey. Darnold didn't throw an interception but did lose a fumble in the contest. Darnold started the game hot, he threw a dime to Robby Anderson through double coverage for a touchdown on the team's opening drive, but was more of a game manager in the low-scoring contest. Darnold isn't a recommended start in Week 17 at Buffalo. He'll be an interesting QB going into next season as he's shown the talent that made him a top-3 pick in the NFL Draft, but has also struggled with turnovers through two seasons.
