Outlook Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold travels to Denver for a challenging road matchup
Fully past the early-season glute injury, Darnold leads Seattle's offense into Denver. Seattle’s coaching staff recently adjusted the playbook to focus on swift decisions and curtail turnovers after Darnold tossed five interceptions across his four appearances this year. Surrounded by reliable targets like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, Darnold maintains solid passing volume.
From a fantasy perspective, Darnold profiles as a streaming option rather than an automatic start, rostered in 53% of leagues and started in 18%. Our weekly projection estimates 217 passing yards and 1.4 passing scores against a disciplined Broncos defense in an expected low-scoring contest. He is best viewed as a mid-tier QB2 or superflex play this week.

Drake Maye vs. Jets — Red-Hot Quarterback Primed for Another Strong Outing
Drake Maye has caught fire over his last two games, leading New England to consecutive wins while racking up 643 passing yards and eight total touchdowns. The offense has found its rhythm, keeping pressure off Maye and unlocking his downfield aggression with weapons like Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas.
Our weekly projections forecast another productive afternoon with 220 passing yards, 1.5 passing scores, and 28 rushing yards (19.9 fantasy points) as home favorites against the Jets. With his start rate surging to 86%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
