Seattle hosts the Chicago Bears in primetime this week, a very vulnerable pass defense that happens to be dealing with some injuries to the secondary right now. The Bears have been a bit of a pass funnel this season, as 72% of the yardage allowed by this defense has come through the air, the sixth-highest rate in the NFL.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Darnold set up as QB1 streaming option against vulnerable Bears pass defense in primetime.

Darnold is a solid streaming option to finish as a QB1 in Week 8 despite recent struggles with eight interceptions over the last five games. Seattle hosts Chicago in primetime against a vulnerable pass defense dealing with secondary injuries. The Bears allow 72% of yardage through the air (sixth-highest rate in NFL) and 19.8 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks (10th-most in league). Chicago has allowed QB2, QB5, and QB8 over the past three games. Even with Seattle's elite home defense, the game has sneaky shootout potential that could force Darnold to throw 30-plus times.
