Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold completed 21-of-31 attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings’ Week 13 win against the Cardinals, adding four rushes for 22 yards.

Shaky in the first half and under nearly constant duress against a Cardinals front seven that rarely pressures the passer, Darnold turned things around in the second half and threw two touchdowns in a furious fourth quarter comeback win. He moved well outside the pocket and made plays out of structure as the Vikings abandoned the run in the second half and centered the offense around Justin Jefferson for the first time in a while. Sunday marks his ninth game of the season with at least two touchdowns in the balanced Minnesota offense. Darnold will be an excellent fantasy option in Week 14 against a Falcons defense that does not pressure the QB and can be beaten down the field.
