Positive signalMatchup

Darnold faces Bears' man-heavy defense; recent QBs scored 24+ points.

Darnold is a safe start against Chicago despite ranking QB27 since Week 4 with no games over 15 fantasy points, despite having the league's best wide receiver and very little rushing attack. The Bears lean into man coverage at the fourth-highest rate, and Darnold scores 0.53 fantasy points per dropback against man coverage compared to 0.38 against zone coverage. Over the last three weeks, all three opposing quarterbacks who faced the Bears have scored 24+ fantasy points, giving Darnold hope to get back into fantasy managers' good books, at least in Superflex leagues.
