Huddle Up: Darnold has been solid through the first two weeks of the season, tossing a pair of touchdowns in both contests. The change of scenery has Darnold looking like a viable QB2.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold is listed as the starting quarterback on the depth chart for the preseason opener.
Huddle Up: There's still time for J.J. McCarthy to overtake him. In any event, Darnold is a weak QB2 that is really only an option in leagues that start two QBs.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold will receive a majority of the snaps with the first-team offense when training camp practices start, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell said QB J.J. McCarthy will also receive work with the starting offense.
Huddle Up: It seems like Darnold is on track to be the Week 1 starting quarterback, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation over the next several weeks. He should be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he wins the job.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold is the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job at this point, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Huddle Up: Darnold will compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting job during training camp, so fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation. The winner of the job probably should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold's "consistency" stood out during the three days of OTAs, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Darnold has a good chance to open the year as the starter, but with J.J. McCarthy waiting in the wings, Darnold has a limited shelf life. At best, Darnold could be a serviceable QB2 for a portion of the season.

Impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold (49ers) agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, March 12, and the contract is worth up to $10 million.
Huddle Up: Darnold will get an opportunity to win the starting job in the Twin Cities, and working with players like Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison might make him a deep sleeper in deeper fantasy leagues and those which require two starting signal callers.
