Sam Darnold vs SF — NFC West Showdown at Lumen Field

Now fully past his early-season glute injury, Darnold commands Seattle's offense in a marquee NFC West showdown against the undefeated 49ers. With backfield injuries continuing to test Seattle's depth, the game script could force additional passing volume, putting plenty of trust in primary targets Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Our weekly projection lands at 16.9 fantasy points, expecting Darnold to compile approximately 190 passing yards and nearly two passing touchdowns. While currently rostered in 63% of fantasy leagues, his start rate sits at 29%, positioning him as a viable streaming candidate or QB2 whose overall ceiling is challenged by a disciplined San Francisco defense.
