Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Justin Fields

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.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 15 of his 26 pass attempts for 116 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 loss against the New England Patriots. He also added 11 rushing attempts, 67 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. While Fields had another poor game passing, he salvaged his fantasy performance with a solid rushing performance. It wasn't enough to keep the Jets' win streak alive, but it was likely enough to prompt fantasy managers to consider starting him next week against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields is best viewed as a low-floor, high-ceiling QB2 in fantasy football.
