Sam Darnold A QB1 In Tough Matchup
6 mins agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold gets a tough matchup on Sunday in a rematch with the Green Bay Packers. The USC product has been on a tear recently. Since tossing five INTs across Weeks 9 and 10, Darnold has compiled a 15:1 TD:INT ratio and averaged 272.5 passing yards per game. However, it wasn't a gauntlet of the league's most formidable defensive units. The 27-year-old will get an actual test in Week 17 against a Packers squad, allowing the ninth-fewest passing yards per game (209.7). Green Bay has been staunch against fantasy QBs in 2024 – letting up the third-lowest fantasy point total per outing in the league (15.4). Still, the veteran is amid a career year and threw three TDs in his last meeting with Green Bay in Week 4. He's again ranked amongst the top options at his position, landing as RotoBaller's QB6 for the season's penultimate week.
