Sam Darnold

Darnold is the QB13 in fantasy points per game and has finished as a QB1 in 50% of his games this season. Since Week 5, among 36 qualifying quarterbacks, Darnold ranks 11th in yards per attempt, 23rd in passer rating, and 19th in highly accurate throw rate while also sporting the sixth-highest turnover-worthy throw rate. The Bears' pass defense has fallen off. Since Week 6, they have allowed the 13th-highest success rate per dropback, the fourth-highest yards per attempt, and the eighth-highest CPOE. Don't be surprised if Darnold is a QB1 in Week 12.

Sam Darnold completed 22-of-34 pass attempts for 330 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 30-27 Week 12 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold continues a strong stretch behind center, throwing multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games for the Vikings. The signal-caller will look to continue to guide the diverse Minnesota offense against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
