Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Brian Robinson Jr.

Sunday, November 24, 4:57 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22-of-34 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Chicago Bears. Minnesota was up 24-10 at the end of the third quarter before Chicago came storming back to score 17 fourth-quarter points and tie the game at 27 a piece, sending it to OT. The Bears would get the first possession in the extra quarter but ultimately punt it away, setting up the 27-year-old to orchestrate a 12-play, 83-yard, game-winning drive. Darnold's passing yardage total was a new season-high, and it was the third time this season he'd finish an outing with no turnovers. After a few down weeks, the USC product has turned it around, tossing for 576 yards and four touchdowns over his last two contests. He and the Vikes will get a softer matchup in Week 13 when they host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) sustained an ankle injury during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys and only logged five carries for 13 yards. He caught one of his two targets for 11 yards as well. Robinson sustained his first ankle injury in the opening quarter but was able to return shortly after. However, later in the second half, Robinson suffered another injury to his ankle and was unable to return. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing next weekend's game. In addition, No.2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) sustained an injury in the final minutes. If both running backs were to sit out in Week 13, Jeremy McNichols should be expected to operate as the lead back.
