BDGE Fantasy Football on Sam Darnold

Bullish matchup-based QB1 after 29.66-point return; 45 attempts unsustainable

Darnold posted 29.66 fantasy points in his return from glute injury with 45 pass attempts, 379 passing yards, and 4 passing touchdowns against Washington. While 45 attempts is unsustainable (only second time in Seahawks career cracking 40, career-high since moving to Seattle), the source is bullish on Darnold as a matchup-based QB1 moving forward in single-QB leagues and super flex formats due to his efficiency with Jackson Smith-Njigba, who averages above 4 yards per route run and is a red zone menace.
