Sam Darnold out Week 9 with quad injury, Drew Lock in line to start
Sam Darnold is out Week 9 with a quad injury and a cracked rib suffered against the Bears. Drew Lock is in line to start in his place.
HC Mike Macdonald said Darnold also suffered a cracked rib early in Monday's loss to the Bears.
Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchDarnold's done for this week, full stop. He's rostered in plenty of one-QB leagues on name value alone, but a cracked rib isn't a quad tweak you play through next week either. Lock inherits a juicy 41.5 total with Seattle favored by 12.5, which is nice context for a desperation streamer, not a reason to trust him. Drop Darnold to your bench, stream Lock only if your room is empty, and don't overthink a backup with zero track record.
