Sam Darnold vs. Chiefs: Turnover Woes Cloud Sunday Night Matchup

Sam Darnold continues under center for Seattle with head coach Mike Macdonald's backing, despite recent ball-security issues. Over his last two games, Darnold has tossed four interceptions against just one touchdown. While Seattle looks to simplify play calls for quicker decisions, fantasy managers have grown wary, dropping his roster rate down to 41%.

Drawing an undefeated Kansas City squad on Sunday night presents a difficult rebound spot. Our weekly projection slots Darnold for 14.1 fantasy points, expecting roughly 182 passing yards and 1.3 touchdowns alongside an interception. With his start rate falling to 11%, he is best left on the bench in standard leagues and reserved only for multi-QB formats.

Outlook Isaiah Likely

Isaiah Likely at Houston — Heavy Target Volume Fuels Must-Start Status

Likely has emerged as a dominant focal point in New York's passing attack, operating as the undisputed top tight end. Over his last two games, Likely has commanded 24 targets, turning them into 17 receptions for 193 yards and three touchdowns while connecting effectively with quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

For Week 7 in Houston, our projection forecasts roughly 5.2 receptions for 52 yards and 13.5 fantasy points. With the Giants facing a potential pass-heavy script as road underdogs, his target floor remains elite, meaning fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats.
