Sam Darnold Headshot

Vikings QB Sam Darnold went wild against the Atlanta Falcons supporting both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to top-five fantasy performances. The Falcons pass defense has struggled throughout the season and Darnold took full advantage completing 22 of 28 passes.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Darnold has a rough stretch for the fantasy playoffs. He starts with a negative match-up against the Bears followed by a neutral one against the Seahawks. For the championship, he has a negative match-up against the rival Packers.

The offense under HC Kevin O’Connell certainly has the weapons and talent to overcome the schedule, so Darnold should be a borderline QB1 for that stretch.
