Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold completed 17-of-26 attempts for 268 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Vikings’ Week 2 win against the 49ers, adding five rushes for 32 yards.

Darnold was once again solid if not spectacular as the Vikings’ starter. He made safe throws throughout, and hit Justin Jefferson on a gorgeous deep ball for a 97-yard score in the first half. Darnold demonstrated some mobility too with 32 yards on the ground. Darnold is a fine caretaker of a pass-first Vikings offense, and should be treated as a fantasy starter in deeper formats next week against the Texans in what could be a back-and-forth affair.
