Sam Darnold Could Make A Start This Year
2 years agoCarolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will start in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens with PJ Walker (ankle) hurt, but some with the team would like to see Sam Darnold at some point this year since he hasn't shown what he can do in offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo's offense yet. Darnold will serve as Mayfield's backup this weekend, but he has yet to play in 2022 after starting the year on Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain. The Panthers already benched Mayfield earlier this year for poor play, so there's a decent chance we'll see Darnold at some point down the stretch. The 25-year-old looked awful in his first year in Carolina, though, so fantasy managers in deep two-QB leagues shouldn't be expecting much if he gets in there.
