Dynasty Analysis
J.J. McCarthy arrived as the 10th overall pick, but a season-ending injury allowed Darnold to blow away all expectations. His 4,319 yards and 35 TDs each ranked top-five league-wide. A move to Seattle lowers the fantasy ceiling. And a short-term commitment means Darnold’s dynasty value is truly year to year.
