Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Sam Darnold

Saturday, August 23, 6:21 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (illness) won't play in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Buffalo Bills. The signal-caller appeared in one game this preseason, throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns off 6-for-11 passing in the meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bridgewater's absence should mean more work for Kyle Trask and rookie Connor Bazelak. However, as long as Baker Mayfield is healthy and on the field, the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart will remain mostly irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold torched the Washington Commanders' defense in a 38-14 blowout win on Sunday night, completing 21 of 24 pass attempts for 330 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Darnold was on fire to start the game, posting a perfect 158.3 passer rating while completing all 16 passes and throwing four touchdowns in the first half. His receivers were running open all night, and he consistently delivered on time and on target. The 28-year-old has continued to excel in his first season in Seattle under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Darnold's connection with superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the most potent in the league, adding another 129 yards on eight catches on Sunday night against Washington. Darnold will head back home for a divisional matchup against the Cardinals in Week 10.
