        2:56pm UTC 11/17/25

        Did Sam Darnold Just Have the Easiest Game of His Career?

        3:15pm UTC 11/10/25

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold let you down big time if you started him in Week 10, but it wasn't really his fault. Darnold attempted just 12 passes in Sunday's laugher of a victory over Arizona. Given that, it's actually pretty impressive that he generated 178 yards (14.8 yards per pass attempt) on 10-of-12 passing. Darnold threw a TD and an INT. He also officially logged three rushing attempts for minus-2 yards yards, but two of those were kneel-downs at the end of the first half. (Drew Lock got the kneel-down honors at the end of the game.) Darnold did damage his fantasy line, however, by losing two fumbles against Arizona. That included one at his own 2-yard line, which quickly turned into Arizona's first points late in the second quarter.

        Rashid Shaheed Heads to the Seahawks, Getting a Major QB Upgrade

        5:55pm UTC 11/4/25

        WR Rashid Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks at the trade deadline, adding more weapons for QB Sam Darnold. The move breathes new fantasy life into Shaheed, who was struggling to perform consistently with QBs Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough in New Orleans. Now he joins Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp as a deep threat to take the top off the defense. It is an upgrade for Shaheed and the Seahawks. The Saints receive a fourth and fifth round pick for Shaheed.

Darnold opened the game by completing his first 17 passes. By the time it was all over, Darnold threw for 330 yards, 4 TDs, and the Seahawks were back on top in the NFC West.

        Sam Darnold Builds on This League-Best Stat

        9:48pm UTC 10/12/25

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold entered play Sunday with a league-high 9.3 yards per pass attempt. He certainly didn't do anything to hurt that in delivering 295 yards (and 2 TDs) on 16-of-27 passing in the win at Jacksonville. That's 10.9 yards per attempt, highlighted by a pair of 61-yard connections.

        Could Sam Darnold Be One And Done In Seattle?

        9:36pm UTC 3/18/25

        QB Sam Darnold's contract with the Seahawks is officially for three years and $100.5 million. But Pro Football Talk reports that the deal is structured so that Seattle can cut ties after this season if it wants. Darnold's $37.5 million in 2025 is fully guaranteed, but his 2026 salary doesn't become guaranteed until a week after the Super Bowl.

        Sam Darnold Throws for 347 + 5 TDs Routing Falcons

        5:06pm UTC 12/8/24

        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.

        Sam Darnold One-And-Done In Minnesota?

        10:38am UTC 12/8/24

        The Vikings and QB Sam Darnold have not had any discussions about a long-term contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Darnold is scheduled to hit free agency in March. He's had a nice season for Minnesota, but the team spent the 10th overall pick of this year's draft on QB J.J. McCarthy, who's the favorite to start next season.

        Sam Darnold Throws Two Late TD Passes

        6:31pm UTC 12/1/24

        Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.

        Daniel Jones Off to Minnesota

        10:36am UTC 11/27/24

        The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
