Sam Darnold ranks low on NFL’s 2026 fantasy QB list

Summary

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is ranked No. 20 in the NFL’s fantasy football QB rankings for the 2026 season, categorized in the fourth tier of quarterbacks. Despite a strong performance over the last two seasons, Darnold averaged 14.7 fantasy points per game last year, ranking 26th in the league. His expected offensive scheme remains heavily reliant on the run, especially with the potential absence of key running backs. Changes in the coaching staff may influence his performance, yet expectations for Darnold’s contribution remain modest heading into the season.
