Outlook Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold vs. Kansas City — Turnover Woes Keep Him on the Streaming Fringe
Sam Darnold enters Week 7 looking to rebound after costly turnovers plagued recent outings, including a multi-interception performance against Denver. Head coach Mike Macdonald publicly backed him as part of the solution, and Seattle is adjusting play calls for quicker decisions, but ongoing mistakes have cratered fantasy trust.
Facing an undefeated Kansas City defense, Darnold carries significant risk despite reliable perimeter targets like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Our weekly projection expects roughly 182 passing yards, 1.3 passing touchdowns, and 14.1 fantasy points, keeping him firmly on the fantasy bench in standard single-quarterback leagues.

Outlook Rashee Rice
Rashee Rice at Seattle — Questionable status clouds outlook for Sunday night
Rice remains questionable for Sunday night against Seattle as he continues to nurse hamstring and knee injuries that sidelined him in Week 6. Operating as Kansas City's lead slot receiver when healthy, his availability remains uncertain, so fantasy managers should check back often for the latest news on his practice participation.
With our models currently projecting zero fantasy points and his start rate sliding down to 31%, Rice should be kept on the bench until he proves his health. While Tyquan Thornton's absence frees up vacated targets in the passing attack, Rice cannot be trusted in lineups until he is officially cleared.
