Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Brock Purdy

Sunday, December 7, 7:30 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 20 of his 30 pass attempts for 249 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also rushed for 23 yards. Darnold bounced back from a quiet game last Sunday against the Vikings in which he had zero touchdowns. The 28-year-old has been a fringe top-12 quarterback in fantasy football all season long and has benefited from having Jaxon Smith-Njigba at his disposal. He should continue to be worth starting next week against the Indianapolis Colts as a low-end QB1.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy went 16-for-29 for 168 yards and one touchdown in the team's 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Purdy's production reached season lows in completions, completion rate, and passing yards, but it was enough to finish as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy. Despite Purdy's mediocre stat line, it was an improvement over his performance against the Panthers, when he threw three interceptions and completed just one pass of 10 air yards or more. Against Cleveland, Purdy managed to complete six of his 11 such pass attempts, including a 30-yard bomb to George Kittle that set up a chip-shot field goal for Matt Gay at the end of the first half. San Francisco is on bye in Week 14, but it has favorable matchups in the fantasy football playoffs with meetings against the Titans in Week 15 and the Bears in Week 17.
