Sam Darnold a Potential Streamer in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 8:49 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a potential streamer in Week 4 against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that has fallen short of expectations this season. The Chargers are allowing 244.7 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. Darnold is fresh off a 379-yard outing in Washington and will return home with a need for a win. Darnold's chemistry with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is undeniable. He should find JSN early and often. Given the Chargers' defensive woes, Darnold has a chance to toss a couple of touchdown passes as well. While he may not carry a massive ceiling, Darnold certainly enters this week with a nice floor. If you are reeling with quarterback injuries or poor play, you can turn to Darnold this week. Darnold is readily available on waivers and generally not considered a starting option, so you should be able to grab him and plug him in immediately.

Tyler Shough Set Up for Another Strong Showing Against the Falcons

Saturday, October 3, 5:15 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 29-of-42 passes for 255 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in Week 3's 35-27 loss to the Raiders. Shough was in control of the offense for much of the game, leading the Saints to an 11-point lead midway through the third quarter. He and the offense eventually stalled, committing turnovers on all four possessions in the fourth quarter and ultimately falling short. He looks to bounce back against a Falcons defense on Monday night that is surrendering 263 passing yards per game, 29th in the league. Through the first three weeks, Shough ranks as QB3 and has another plus matchup against the Falcons. Second in the league in passing yards and with rushing upside, Shough has established himself as a weekly QB1 in fantasy.
