Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to have another significant season in 2026. Coming off back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons, he projects to achieve approximately 4,012 passing yards and a 24-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Despite these strong stats, Darnold's performance may not secure a top-10 spot in PPR fantasy leagues due to a less pass-heavy offense that ranked fourth-fewest in passing attempts last season. Fantasy managers looking for a reliable quarterback option may find Darnold appealing, especially in deeper leagues or as a solid backup.
