Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones

Sunday, October 5, 8:59 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 28 of 34 pass attempts for 341 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 5 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was not sacked in the contest. Darnold essentially played mistake-free football for the first 59 minutes, keeping the underdog Seahawks in the game until the very end. Along the way, he turned in one of the week's best fantasy performances, which was a refreshing development since he hadn't exceeded 21 fantasy points in a single game through the first four weeks. Unfortunately for Darnold and the Seahawks, the veteran quarterback threw an interception with 58 seconds left, setting up a game-winning field goal for Tampa Bay. Seattle lost, but Darnold proved that he can perform against an above-average defense. He'll rank as a mid-range QB2 for Week 6 against Jacksonville.

In Week 4, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones had a small setback in what has been an exciting bounce-back season. Jones completed 24 of his 33 passes for 262 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. That being said, it should have been a better outing for Jones, who had a touchdown wiped away when Adonai Mitchell lost control of a would-be touchdown pass right before the goal line. Jones will look to get back on track in Week 5's home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been decent against quarterbacks in fantasy this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Treat Jones as a high-end QB2 in Week 5.
