DYNASTY OUTLOOK

Sam Darnold enters the 2024 season as the likely starting quarterback for Seattle, given Geno Smith's uncertain future and a lack of immediate competition. At 29, Darnold offers experience and some rushing ability, but his career 3.8% TD rate and 78.3 career passer rating limit his fantasy ceiling. Despite a recent value uptick (+55), his hold on the starting job is tenuous, with Seattle possibly targeting a long-term solution in upcoming drafts. Darnold's upside is capped as a bridge QB, reliant on offensive weapons and system fit. In dynasty, he's a hold or opportunistic sell to QB-needy teams, as his long-term job security remains low.
