Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Jalen Milroe

Sunday, October 12, 5:28 PM

The Seattle Seahawks seem to have unlocked their big-play ability with quarterback Sam Darnold this season. Darnold had two completions of 61 yards in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars en route to 295 passing yards and a pair of touchdown passes. The game marked Darnold's second straight with at least 20 fantasy points. Darnold is emerging as a legitimate weekly option at quarterback with the Seahawks' offense playing at a high level right now. Best of all, Darnold continues to keep the turnovers down. He has only turned the ball over four times this season. Additionally, Darnold is staying upright. He was sacked for just the seventh time on Sunday. At this point, Darnold is no longer a streaming option. He should be rostered in just about every league, even if he is just a solid insurance option for your fantasy team. Darnold faces a tough matchup against Houston in Week 7, but the Seahawks have a relatively quarterback-friendly schedule after their Week 8 bye.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback, which means he can only enter the game if both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock get hurt. Milroe's absence is a bit surprising given that Seattle has several plays designed specifically for him, and we've seen him register snaps in three of five games so far this season. With that said, he did lose a fumble on his lone rushing attempt against the Buccaneers last weekend. Dynasty managers should continue to stash Milroe for his long-term upside, but he's droppable in all redraft leagues as it appears he has fallen to third on the depth chart for now.
