Outlook Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold at Denver — Modest Outlook in a Low-Scoring Matchup
Darnold is fully past his early-season glute injury and settled in as Seattle's starter, though he has thrown five interceptions across four appearances. Fantasy managers should also monitor top receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who was limited in practice Monday with an ankle injury.
Visiting Denver in a projected low-scoring environment, Darnold faces a tricky road test with potential light rain. We project him for roughly 215 passing yards, 1.5 passing touchdowns, and 13.9 fantasy points. Started in just 25% of leagues, he remains a matchup-dependent streaming option primarily suited for superflex lineups.

Emanuel Wilson at Denver: Lead Workload Offers Solid Floor
With Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet only recently opening his practice window, Wilson has taken over Seattle's primary rushing duties. Over his last two contests, he has handled 41 carries and scored twice, maintaining lead work despite a lost fumble last week against San Francisco.
Our weekly projection anticipates another active workload on Thursday night, forecasting roughly 16 carries for 56 rushing yards. Backed by heavy early-down volume and an 85% fantasy start rate, managers can comfortably start him as a dependable RB2 or flex option across all formats.
