Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold completed 24-of-40 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, and he did not have any rushing attempts.
Huddle Up: It was Darnold's first game failing to reach multiple touchdown strikes since 10 in Jacksonville when he had no TD passes with three interceptions in an ugly low-scoring win. He'll look to bounce back in Week 16 in Seattle.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold went 22-for-28 for 347 yards and five touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He also rushed for seven yards on four carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Darnold has thrown at least two touchdowns in each of the last four games and has two 300-yard games during that span. He played well against the Chicago Bears a few weeks ago and can be a possible starting option in most fantasy leagues next week against the Bears.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold completed 21-of-31 passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, while adding four runs for a team-best 22 yards.
Huddle Up: After a dud in Jacksonville in Week 10, Darnold has bounced back with three straight games with multiple touchdown strikes with one rushing score. Still, he remains more of a QB2 in most leagues at this critical juncture of the fantasy season. The Vikings host the skidding Atlanta Falcons in Week 14.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold completed 22-of-34 passes for 330 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, while running twice for minus-1 yard.
Huddle Up: It's been quite the resurgence for Darnold in the Twin Cities, but this was actually his first 300-yard game of the season, and just the ninth of his career. In fact, it was his highest yardage total since he threw for 341 yards on New Year's Day 2023 in Tampa as a member of the Carolina Panthers. He has two or more touchdowns in four of the past five games, and eight of his 11 outings, but he should be considered mostly a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. Next up for the Vikings is a Week 13 battle against the Arizona Cardinals.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off a productive Week 11 performance and will look to have similar success against the Chicago Bears. He should be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues and could be a possible low-end No. 1 quarterback in some deeper leagues.

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.
