2026 Outlook
Depth Chart
After reviving his career with the Vikings, Darnold inked a three-year, $100 million deal with the Seahawks. It couldn't have worked out better. The veteran played winning football as Seattle captured the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, Darnold's statistical output dipped markedly in both passing yards, dropping from 4,319 yards in 2024 to 4,048 last season, and touchdowns, which fell from 35 to 25. Given that the approach resulted in a championship, don't expect much to change in the Emerald City in 2026.

That means a continuation of the game manager role Darnold filled many weeks -- in his 17 starts, Darnold threw more than two TD passes three times as opposed to one or fewer in nine outings. It's a trend that continued during the playoffs where he had modest numbers in both the Divisional Round and Super Bowl but hung 346 yards and 3 TDs on the Rams in the NFC Championship Game. It shows that the potential is there any given week, but even after winning a ring there remains a sense that you are playing with fire when you ask Darnold to do too much. That keeps him a notch (or two) below the top quarterbacks.

While the departure of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is less than ideal, the team replaced him with former 49ers running game coordinator Brian Fleury, who runs a similar offense. At this stage, there's little reason to expect Darnold to rebound toward his 2024 numbers, leaving him as a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Sam Darnold ruled Out for Week 2
Drew Lock gets the start against Arizona
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 16, 3:29 pm

Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have ruled out Sam Darnold for their game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that there are no plans to place the quarterback on injured reserve. Darnold is dealing with a glute injury that knocked him out of Seattle's season opener. Drew Lock will start for Seattle in Darnold's absence. (ESPN)

FFToday's Take: Darnold was injured on Seattle's first drive in Week 1 and it sounds like he could miss a couple more weeks. A return Week 5 against the 49ers seems realistic. In the meantime, Drew Lock will command the offense but is stuck in QB2 territory. Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted a 8-122-1 line in Week 1 against the Patriots.

Injury Sam Darnold exits early with hip injury
Will have an MRI on Thursday
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 9, 11:43 pm

Seattle Seahawks
Sources: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has been at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, undergoing a CT scan on his hip. The initial test was encouraging but inconclusive, and Darnold now is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Darnold was injured on Seattle's first series and never returned, leaving Drew Lock to play most of the game at quarterback. Darnold limped off the field and had to go off site for the CT scan. In a defensive game, Lock finished with a 187-1-0, 2-13-0 line, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba doing the heavy lifting on a short pass that went for 45 yards and Lock's only TD.
