Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Terry McLaurin

Sunday, December 7, 7:30 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 20 of his 30 pass attempts for 249 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also rushed for 23 yards. Darnold bounced back from a quiet game last Sunday against the Vikings in which he had zero touchdowns. The 28-year-old has been a fringe top-12 quarterback in fantasy football all season long and has benefited from having Jaxon Smith-Njigba at his disposal. He should continue to be worth starting next week against the Indianapolis Colts as a low-end QB1.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had an excellent performance in his return to action in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos after missing significant time due to a quadriceps injury. McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown while matching a career high with 14 targets. Star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and his dynamic skill set should provide a boost to McLaurin and the entire Washington offense. The 30-year-old wideout has been riddled by injury this season, playing in just five games while recording 20 receptions for 299 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, with both touchdowns coming in his past two games. It's a tougher matchup on Sunday against a Vikings defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards per game, but McLaurin figures to be heavily involved again. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR22 in PPR leagues in Week 14.
