Sam Darnold Not A Lock For Week 5
5 years agoNew York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) still has hurdles to clear to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. He will undergo more tests on his spleen on Monday. If it's not enlarged, he can begin practicing and working out. Darnold's cardio has been limited to walking and a stationary bike, so he's not a lock to return after the team's Week 4 bye. Philly's secondary would present a nice matchup if Darnold returns, but even if he's active fantasy owners should be treating him as a mediocre QB2 until he proves he's fully healthy. Darnold's return will surely be good news for the Jets entire offense, however, as Luke Falk looked downright bad filling in for him in Week 3.
