Fantasy outlook
Darnold's first season with the Super Bowl champion Seahawks couldn't have gone much better from a real-life standpoint, but it simply didn't translate to much fantasy success. Despite finishing fifth in the NFL in passing yards for the second season in a row, Darnold finished 27th in fantasy points per game. He was very boom or bust, delivering seven top-10 weeks but also nine finishes outside the top 20. Turnovers (15 INTs were second most in the NFL) and a lack of rushing were the culprits. The 29-year-old will have a new playcaller in Brian Fleury, but otherwise it's roughly the status quo offensively. Darnold is no more than a fringe QB2 with a limited ceiling.
