Sam Darnold News
Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks won't commit to quarterback Sam Darnold beyond saying he'll start in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks after the team's bye in Week 13. Wilks also isn't committing to Baker Mayfield as the backup QB in Week 14. Darnold started his first game of the 2022 season in the Week 12 win over the Denver Broncos and went 11-for-19 for 164 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He also had three carries for three yards and another score. The 25-year-old wasn't great by any means as the team leaned on the ground game against a solid defense, but the fact that Darnold didn't shoot himself in the foot has to be considered a positive. Darnold earned another start after the bye, where he'll once again be a low-end QB2 consideration for those in superflex leagues.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold will remain the starter, at least for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Seahawks. Darnold finished the Week 12 win over the Broncos with 164 yards and a touchdown off 11-for-19 passing. While it wasn't the most productive showing, the signal-caller played well enough to maintain his grasp on the No. 1 position on the depth chart. That said, Darnold has a way to go before he's labeled a starting fantasy quarterback. At the same time, desperate fantasy managers who still have Baker Mayfield on the roster should hang on to him for now, especially since there's a chance he may be back under center before the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
In his first start of the season, Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold completed 11 of 19 pass attempts for 164 yards and one touchdown in a 23-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. Despite a tough matchup, Darnold got the job done and displayed pre-existing chemistry with DJ Moore, who was on the receiving end of a five-yard score in the first quarter. The Panthers could choose to go back to PJ Walker (ankle) when healthy, but for the time being, Darnold seems like an upgrade for Carolina's offensive weapons. The team will head into a Week 13 bye before returning to a matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.

Carolina Panthers' quarterback Sam Darnold showed us last year that even when you think you can trust him, you can't trust him. He started off the season on fire where he completed 99 passes for 1,189 yards and five touchdowns, and added five rushing touchdowns, all in his first four games as a Panther. Over this span, he averaged 28.7 fantasy points per game and was the QB5, and he finished as the QB1 overall in Week 4 with 38.6 points. Just when fantasy managers were starting to believe in...
