2024 Player Outlook
Darnold has seemingly found himself in a position to be in competition for the Vikings starting QB role in 2024 even as Minnesota went and drafted J.J. McCarthy in the first round of the NFL Draft. We know that Kevin O'Connell's offense is very QB friendly, hell, we got some strong games out of Josh Dobbs last year and then Nick Mullens stepped in and was productive as well so why can't Sam Darnold step into this offense and have success throwing the football to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison? The answer is that he might but that doesn't mean Darnold is a fantasy viable option outside of leagues where you have to start two QB's.
