Sam Darnold (QB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Despite Darnold’s limitations, he could still be a viable option in two-quarterback leagues or Superflex formats. In those formats, where the demand for quarterbacks is much higher, his role as a starter for the Vikings provides a baseline of points each week.

Even with his flaws, Darnold’s ability to throw for multiple touchdowns, as he did in Week 1, gives him some value as a QB2 or flex option. The Vikings' offense may not revolve around him, but Darnold has the potential for occasional spike weeks with weapons like Justin Jefferson.

That said, his inconsistency and turnover risk make him less appealing in standard leagues, where you can often find more reliable options with higher upsides. In two-QB or superflex leagues, where quarterback scarcity is a factor, Darnold’s starting role and moderate production make him worth considering as a back-end option.

The Vikings do have some difficult matchups coming up. In the next four weeks, they will face San Francisco, Houston, Green Bay, and New York (Jets).

Managers should temper expectations and only rely on him when better alternatives are unavailable.
