        Sam Darnold Feeling Better, Limited On Wednesday

        1:44pm UTC 1/22/26

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He "continues to get better," HC Mike Macdonald said, but is expected to be limited throughout the week. "He's not going to be a full-go the whole week, so we have a plan; we're going to work through it, see how the day goes and then we'll kind of take it day by day and take it to tomorrow," Macdonald said Wednesday. "But he won't be throwing every ball every play for the whole week, no." Darnold didn't need to do much in last week's easy win over the 49ers, but he completed 71% of his 17 passes at 7.3 yards per attempt. He's fully expected to start Sunday's NFC Championship vs. the Rams.

        Sam Darnold Active

        11:34pm UTC 1/17/26

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) is active for tonight's game vs. the 49ers. He felt discomfort in his left side in Thursday's practice and was listed as questionable. Seattle reportedly wasn't completely sure that Darnold would be able to play as of this morning, but he evidently looked and felt good enough today to start this Divisional Round game.

        Sam Darnold Suddenly Questionable For Divisional Round

        1:42pm UTC 1/16/26

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Divisional Round game vs. the 49ers with an oblique injury. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and officially limited in practice. Darnold said afterward that he felt something in his left side near the start of practice. “In routes on air felt a little something in my oblique and didn’t want to push it. Wasn’t the day to push it,” he said. “That was it. Came inside, got some rehab and feel like I’ll be ready to go for Saturday.” We'll keep you updated on Darnold's status and get Seattle's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday. QB Drew Lock would get the call if Darnold is unable to play.

        Rams-Seahawks Weather Update

        12:41am UTC 12/19/25

        The forecast for tonight's Rams-Seahawks game calls for a 40-50% chance of rain with winds around 20 mph and gusts up over 30. The rain shouldn't be impactful, but the wind will be. Per Rotogrinders' Kevin Roth, we could see gusts of 30-40 mph in the first half, tapering off to around 30 mph in the second. We'd shy away from using either kicker in this game. We're not adjusting projections for the offenses but could certainly see both teams lean a bit more toward the run. This was already a tough spot for QB Matt Stafford, on the road against a tough defense and without WR Davante Adams.

        Sam Darnold Has a TD Problem

        10:59am UTC 12/15/25

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold went without a TD pass for the third time in five games in Sunday's narrow victory over the Colts. He completed 22 of 36 throws (61.1%) for 271 yards (7.5 yards per attempt), with no TDs or INTs. With one game left to go in Week 15 as of this writing, his fantasy total sits 24th among QBs for the week by ESPN scoring. That will mark his fourth fantasy finish outside the top 20 among the past six weeks.

        Did Sam Darnold Just Have the Easiest Game of His Career?

        3:15pm UTC 11/10/25

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold let you down big time if you started him in Week 10, but it wasn't really his fault. Darnold attempted just 12 passes in Sunday's laugher of a victory over Arizona. Given that, it's actually pretty impressive that he generated 178 yards (14.8 yards per pass attempt) on 10-of-12 passing. Darnold threw a TD and an INT. He also officially logged three rushing attempts for minus-2 yards yards, but two of those were kneel-downs at the end of the first half. (Drew Lock got the kneel-down honors at the end of the game.) Darnold did damage his fantasy line, however, by losing two fumbles against Arizona. That included one at his own 2-yard line, which quickly turned into Arizona's first points late in the second quarter.

        Rashid Shaheed Heads to the Seahawks, Getting a Major QB Upgrade

        5:55pm UTC 11/4/25

        WR Rashid Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks at the trade deadline, adding more weapons for QB Sam Darnold. The move breathes new fantasy life into Shaheed, who was struggling to perform consistently with QBs Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough in New Orleans. Now he joins Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp as a deep threat to take the top off the defense. It is an upgrade for Shaheed and the Seahawks. The Saints receive a fourth and fifth round pick for Shaheed.

        Sam Darnold Looks Like Legit MVP Versus Commanders

        11:22am UTC 11/3/25

        Former castoff QB Sam Darnold had one of the finest outings of his career on Sunday night, leading the Seattle Seahawks to an easy 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Darnold opened the game by completing his first 17 passes. By the time it was all over, Darnold threw for 330 yards, 4 TDs, and the Seahawks were back on top in the NFC West.

        Sam Darnold Builds on This League-Best Stat

        9:48pm UTC 10/12/25

        Seahawks QB Sam Darnold entered play Sunday with a league-high 9.3 yards per pass attempt. He certainly didn't do anything to hurt that in delivering 295 yards (and 2 TDs) on 16-of-27 passing in the win at Jacksonville. That's 10.9 yards per attempt, highlighted by a pair of 61-yard connections.

        Could Sam Darnold Be One And Done In Seattle?

        9:36pm UTC 3/18/25

        QB Sam Darnold's contract with the Seahawks is officially for three years and $100.5 million. But Pro Football Talk reports that the deal is structured so that Seattle can cut ties after this season if it wants. Darnold's $37.5 million in 2025 is fully guaranteed, but his 2026 salary doesn't become guaranteed until a week after the Super Bowl.

        Vikings QB Sam Darnold went wild against the Atlanta Falcons supporting both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to top-five fantasy performances. The Falcons pass defense has struggled throughout the season and Darnold took full advantage completing 22 of 28 passes.

        Sam Darnold One-And-Done In Minnesota?

        10:38am UTC 12/8/24

        The Vikings and QB Sam Darnold have not had any discussions about a long-term contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Darnold is scheduled to hit free agency in March. He's had a nice season for Minnesota, but the team spent the 10th overall pick of this year's draft on QB J.J. McCarthy, who's the favorite to start next season.

        Sam Darnold Throws Two Late TD Passes

        6:31pm UTC 12/1/24

        Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.

        10:36am UTC 11/27/24

        The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

Darnold ranks fifth among QBs in fantasy points and has finished top 14 at the position in all three weeks so far. He sits 12th in the Week 4 QB Rankings.
