BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold, quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, is a solid starter for this week. In Week 9, he connected on 28-of-34 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
This week, Darnold takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Jacksonville allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, the 27-year-old has an advantageous matchup in Week 10.

The Jaguars surrender an average of 24.9 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Jacksonville has also allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, fifth-most to opposing wideouts, and eighth-most to tight ends.
This suggests that Darnold and the Vikings' offense could have a high-scoring game, making him an intriguing fantasy start. Given his recent reliable play and the favorable matchup, the USC product is a great option to consider in starting lineups for Week 10, particularly if you are navigating quarterback injuries or byes.
