He tossed for 275 yards as well as three goals in a victory over the Veggie Gulf Packers in Full Week 4. The play-action video game remains Darnold's buddy in Kevin O'Connell's tactics. Depending On to Following Generation Statistics, Darnold is balancing a league-best 12.8 lawns every effort in play-action. He also leads the organization with 11 passing touchdowns as well as a 118.9 passer score with 4 activities. 2.

His five interceptions are actually the third-most in the league and the most he's ever before included the initial 4 activities of a period.

Josh Allen, QB, BillsCurrent MVP Chances: +350 (bet $10 to succeed $45 total) I am actually looking at Allen's moderate performance versus the Ravens as a slight misstep in what is actually expected to become an MVP-worthy time for Buffalo's do-everything QB. The Bills balanced simply 4.1 lawns every play in a humbling loss at Baltimore.This full week, however, Allen faces an additional tough activity when driving versus a petty Houston Texans defense.
