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.

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.
