Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Dillon Gabriel

Friday, November 14, 5:26 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is not someone you should look to stream this week. Darnold has been on a tear of late. He has been lighting up opposing defenses left and right. Week 11 will present the toughest task of the season. Seattle will travel to Los Angeles to face an excellent Rams defense. The Rams are No. 9 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy this season. They have allowed some wide receivers to get loose, but quarterbacks have been stifled. Additionally, despite the excellent nature of both of these offenses, the real defining factor in this game will be each team's defense. As such, this could be a lower-scoring game than anticipated or desired. Darnold's overall passing volume could be much lower than usual. With that in mind, it is best to look elsewhere at quarterback this week. Darnold checks in as a mid-tier QB2. However, roster Darnold through this matchup because better days are ahead.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has entered concussion protocol, leaving his status for Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders up in the air. However, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Gabriel will remain the starter if he is healthy and clears concussion protocol. The Oregon product was replaced by fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders following his injury, but it didn't go very well as Sanders completed just four of his 16 pass attempts, took two sacks, and threw an interception. Gabriel, on the other hand, went 7-for-10 passing with 68 yards through the air, and he also led four scoring drives. Cleveland is at its best when it controls the rushing attack, which leaves Gabriel outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks going forward.
