Sam Darnold Dynasty Value 2026

The glute injury costs Darnold Week 2.

Seattle officially ruled Sam Darnold out for Sunday at Arizona and will start Drew Lock after Darnold played five snaps in the opener. Mike Macdonald said the injury is not expected to send him to injured reserve and Seattle will reevaluate next week, so the long-term absence remains unresolved rather than confirmed. Lock’s start protects the offense but weakens Darnold’s near-term QB22 market, while qualified managers are already net sellers. Hold through a short absence, but only buy if the discount covers another missed game; a practice return next week is the clean recovery signal.
