Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 21.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off a three-touchdown performance last week but has thrown five interceptions in the last three games. He should be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues but is a risky option in standard leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: Darnold had a bounce back performance last week and has thrown at least two touchdowns in three of the last four games. He will be facing a good Chicago Bears defense this week but could be a possible starting option in some deeper leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (elbow) practiced in full on Thursday, Nov. 14, after being limited the day before.
Huddle Up: The upgrade in participation erases any concern for the Vikings signal-caller. He's a high-end QB2 entering Week 11.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (hand) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 13. The Vikings did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Darnold will be able to play. He has thrown three touchdowns and five interceptions over the last two games and probably is only an option in two-quarterback leagues this week.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold completed 24-of-38 passes for 241 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while running seven times for 28 yards.
Huddle Up: It was just Darnold's second game without a touchdown throw in a single game. The wheels might be coming off a little for Darnold, as he has five interceptions in the past two games after committing just five across his first seven outings. Continue to treat him as a QB2 and bye-week streamer option heading into Week 11 at Tennessee.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold finished 28-of-34 for 290 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. He also ran four times for 14 yards and lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: The Vikings continually shot themselves in the foot in the first half, as Darnold was intercepted in the end zone on the first possession. He then lost a fumble on a sack that was returned for a touchdown two drives later. Minnesota capped off the first half by missing a pair of field goals. Even though Darnold threw another interception early in the second half, he turned things around after the break and looked much like the player he was for most of the first half of the season. Darnold is still making a few too many mistakes, but it is hard to quibble about a 17:7 touchdown-to-interception ratio through eight games. He should be on the low-end QB1 radar again in Week 10 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
