A coach saying 'good track' is not an activation, and Darnold's value over replacement sits at -25.0 regardless. He posted 0.7 points in Week 1, and the return spot is a 40.5-total game in Washington where Seattle is favoured by seven, which is the kind of script that hands the ball to the run game. He is rostered in 71.7% of leagues, mostly by people who forgot. Hold him if your quarterback room is thin enough to care. Otherwise he is bench filler with a press conference attached.
