Who Should I Start? Blaine Gabbert or Sam Darnold

Monday, January 8, 1:51 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Blaine Gabbert wasn't asked to do much in Sunday's 13-12 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers, completing 15-of-30 passes for 154 yards and an interception with five carries for 46 yards. With the Chiefs resting most of their top skill positions in a game with no playoff implications, Gabbert understandably had a difficult time moving the ball and sustaining drives. The 34-year-old veteran looked spry, though, on 25- and 14-yard scampers to set up a go-ahead field-goal drive during the fourth quarter. Gabbert served his purpose in Week 18 to bridge the gap between this meaningless contest and K.C.'s postseason endeavors, and he will head back to the sidelines as Patrick Mahomes' backup when the team hosts the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night for Wild Card action.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Darnold suffered a left-oblique injury in practice several weeks ago while preparing for the Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old played through the injury in the 41-6 win over the 49ers and then threw for a season-high 346 yards and three touchdowns in the NFC Championship game win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was a little sore after last Sunday's game, but Darnold should be completely fine to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8, against the New England Patriots. During the regular season, Darnold averaged 16 fantasy points per game, and the Patriots' defense allowed 16.1 fantasy points per game to the QB position.
