Sam Darnold Poised for Big Week 9 Performance Amidst Potential Negative NFL Record

Sam Darnold, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, is poised for a significant Week 9 performance against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. He has finished as a top-10 fantasy QB in two of his last three games and has thrown at least two touchdown passes in four of his last six. This favorable matchup comes against a Commanders team that, since Week 2, has given up more fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks than all but one other NFL team. Despite this positive outlook, an earlier report highlighted that Darnold, alongside Daniel Jones, could be on track to make an undesirable NFL history record following an offseason quarterback shuffle.
