Sam Darnold

MINQB • #14

Sam Darnold completed 22-of-35 attempts for 236 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings’ Week 16 win against the Seahawks, adding five rushes for 11 yards.

This marks Darnold’s fifth game of 2024 with at least three touchdown passes. He was erratic at times against the Seahawks and struggled under pressure — taking a couple big hits while standing strong in the pocket — but Darnold targeted Justin Jefferson early and often, connecting for two scores with J-Jeff, including the game winner. Darnold also hit Jordan Addison for a touchdown in the red zone. Darnold in Week 17 will go against a Green Bay defense that gave up 275 yards and three touchdowns to Darnold in Week 4. He’ll be a top-12 fantasy option.
