Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Bo Nix

Friday, November 28, 6:21 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should have a fine game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Although Minnesota boasts a tough defense, Darnold has been able to consistently toss a couple of touchdown passes per game this season. Additionally, Darnold's connection with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has helped buoy a QB2 season from the veteran quarterback. Minnesota has a stout rushing defense, so expect the Seahawks to lean heavily on play-action passes. While Minnesota has a chaotic, attacking passing defense, Seattle should be able to find room to throw in this game. What is more, the Vikings will be starting rookie quarterback Max Brosmer in Week 13 with J.J. McCarthy (concussion) still in concussion protocol. As such, the Seahawks should be able to force short fields with an attacking defense of their own. With no teams on a bye this week, you may not need to stream Darnold. However, if you have struggled to find consistent quarterback play elsewhere, you could do much worse than Darnold in Week 13.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.
