Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Lamar Jackson

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.

The Baltimore Ravens hope that quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) can return following next week's bye, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The injury is reportedly not long-term, and Jackson has been in the team's facilities rehabbing. While a Week 8 return has certainly not been confirmed, the team views that as a reasonable target as the star quarterback continues to make progress with his recovery. In the meantime, Cooper Rush will make one more start in Week 6. Baltimore's offense has looked very underwhelming under Rush, so getting Jackson back would be good news all around. He's a fantasy QB1 whenever he's healthy.
