The Seattle Seahawks will host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Sam Darnold.
Is Sam Darnold Playing in Week 15?
Darnold is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Darnold in Week 15?
Darnold is going to do what is asked of him and is likely to do it at a high level.
A week ago, I had a strong projection on him for this game because I thought the Colts had a chance to push the Seahawks a bit, but with the rash of QB injuries in Indy, that’s less likely, thus positioning Darnold for another low-volume game.
He can get there in such spots (twice since November has he had 3+ TD passes on no more than 30 passes), but a low attempt count naturally carries downside with it. He’s QB17 this season among the quarterbacks that will start this week, and that’s where I have him slotted for Week 15.
