Breakdown Sam Darnold

    Overview

  • A good quarterback can mean the world of difference in such a pass heavy league.
  • Experts don't even rank him among QB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 34th with 86.32 total points (10.79 avg).
  • Currently 351.2 points behind the leader: Josh Allen
  • Average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 10.8.

    • QB Stats

  • Top 50 in pass yards with 1143 (142.88 per game) and is currently ranked 37th among QB.
  • Top 25 in pass tds with 7 (0.88 per game) and is currently ranked 34th among QB.
