QB · Seattle Seahawks — NFL fantasy hub on MySidelines

Season 2025 · 249.4 fantasy pts · 17 games · Pos rank #13

Durability Story · Watch

Sam Darnold has been durable enough to stay relevant, but not durable enough for managers to stop checking the report every week. Evidence check: injury reports across 6 different seasons; 2019 was the rough one at 3 missed; longest on-report absence ran 2 weeks in 2019 (Wk 2–3); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Sam is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
