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.

Impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold (49ers) has received contract offers from the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos.
Huddle Up: Both the Vikings and Broncos are looking for possible starting options, so Darnold seems to be on track to makes some starts in 2024. Fantasy players can monitor the situation, but he probably will be avoided in most leagues.

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy will not play in the Week 18 game, and QB Sam Darnold will be the starting quarterback for the game, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Huddle Up: Purdy will have an extended break since the 49ers will have a bye for the first week of the playoffs. Darnold should have some success this week but is probably only an option in two-quarterback leagues.
