Sam Darnold Should be Rostered, but not Streamed in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 8:47 PM

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.

Josh Allen Totals Three Touchdowns in Blowout Week 8 Win

Sunday, October 26, 9:58 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a modest day from a yardage perspective in his team's 40-9 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers, completing 12 of 19 pass attempts for 163 yards and rushing three times for seven yards. However, Allen saved his fantasy production by throwing a touchdown pass and rushing for two more. The 29-year-old remains a touchdown-scoring machine. Across seven games played in 2025, Allen has thrown for 1,560 yards and 12 touchdowns and run for 261 yards and five scores. As long as he's healthy, Allen is a must-start fantasy quarterback. He and the Bills will host the rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9.
