Darnold is a strong streamer with QB1 upside against Chicago's weak pass defense.

Darnold has been QB27 in fantasy points per game with under 15 points in each of his last four games, but Derek Brown identifies him as a strong streamer this week. Among 34 qualifying passers, Darnold ranks 15th in yards per attempt, 21st in passing success rate, 13th in highly accurate throw rate, and 4th in catchable target rate. Chicago has allowed the most yards per attempt, 7th-highest passing touchdown rate, and 5th-highest passer rating over their last five games, setting up Darnold for a potential QB1 stat line.
