If for some reason you're thinking about starting either Daniel Jones (@MIN) or Sam Darnold (vs KC) as a second QB this week, maybe this fantasy football thing isn't for you. Both are struggling, and on top of that, Minnesota and K.C. are fantasy kryptonite for opposing QBs this season. They're the two worst matchups, at 9.0 and 13.0 FPPG allowed to the position, respectively.

Darnold is Fade vs. Chiefs; second-worst QB matchup at 13.0 FPPG.

Darnold is a Fade if you're considering him as a second QB this week; he's struggling and faces Kansas City, which is fantasy kryptonite for opposing QBs this season, allowing 13.0 FPPG to the position – one of the two worst matchups.
