Darnold strong streamer play against Chicago's pass defense; could post QB1 line.

Darnold has been QB27 in fantasy points per game and hasn't exceeded 15 fantasy points in his last four games, but the source 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 fourth in catchable target rate. Chicago has allowed the most yards per attempt, the seventh-highest passing touchdown rate, and the fifth-highest passer rating over their last five games. The source projects Darnold could easily post a QB1 stat line this week.
