Waiver-wire target: Sam Darnold, SEA (vs. HOU)

Darnold’s Seattle debut was quiet, but he has put up loud stat lines virtually every week since. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of his last five outings, and in the one game where he didn’t, he still threw for 242 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 unexpected-but-welcome yards on the ground.

His matchup is tricky this week, and Seattle’s bye looms in Week 8, so he may not be the best choice if you’re in dire need of immediate relief. That said, he’s good enough to perform even in a tough spot, and his season-long outlook will make him worth the wait for those with less-than-stellar quarterback situations.

Projected stats: 20-of-29 for 229 yards and two touchdowns
