Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been an exciting fantasy asset of late. Unfortunately, Darnold draws a very tough matchup against the Houston Texans on Monday night. Houston is the No. 1 overall team against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy in 2025. This passing defense has done well to shut down every opposing quarterback they have played, especially over the past two games. Even Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had a pedestrian game against this defense in Week 2. Darnold's hot streak has included two straight games with at least 20 fantasy points. Additionally, Darnold has produced at least 242 passing yards in four of his past five games. Best of all, Darnold is protecting the football with just four turnovers this season. Darnold should continue to protect the ball against the Texans this week, but Houston's smothering defense may cap his overall passing output. This projects to be a lower-scoring game in a clash between two elite defenses. As such, Darnold should be rostered, but left on your bench in Week 7.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 21 of his 29 pass attempts for 272 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also took three sacks along the way. Jones' career resurgence in Indianapolis continues, as he now has 17 total touchdowns and just three turnovers in 2025. The 28-year-old ranks as the overall QB6 in fantasy football, showcasing an impressive blend of passing talent and mobility. He should remain a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into next week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just surrendered 360 yards and three touchdowns to Jordan Love.
