Sam Darnold clocks in with a shocking 0-point trade value in one-quarterback fantasy leagues this Week 3, a gut punch for anyone rocking him on their squad. This isn’t just a number; it’s a clear signal from fantasy analyst Justin Boone about Darnold’s rest-of-season outlook as a guide to make moves and manage your fantasy roster.
Our QB’s Rank Among the League
Boone’s rest-of-season trade value chart for quarterbacks, designed to help fantasy managers construct realistic trade offers, pegs Darnold as the 25th overall quarterback on the list. When you are looking at trade values, a zero for 1QB leagues makes him tough to move. If you’re in a 2QB league, his value jumps to 20 points, but that still places him well below the league’s top-tier talent. Josh Allen leads the pack with a 32-point value in 1QB leagues, followed by Lamar Jackson at 26, and Jalen Hurts at 20. Our guy Darnold is quite a ways down from those heavy hitters.
What This Means for Your Squad
This low ranking for Week 3 fantasy trade values means a couple of things. First, if you drafted Darnold hoping for a sneaky late-round gem, his current trade market is practically nonexistent in standard leagues. You’re likely holding onto him, crossing your fingers for an unexpected breakout, or dropping him for someone with more upside. These values are all about the rest of the season, so Boone isn’t seeing a big jump coming. For fantasy managers in Seattle, it means our Seahawks QB isn’t getting much love from the fantasy experts when it comes to trade chips.
Heading into the thick of Week 3, fantasy managers need to adjust their expectations for Sam Darnold. Don’t expect to package him in a deal for an upgrade. For now, it’s about holding and hoping, or looking for other options on the waiver wire to bolster your fantasy lineup.
