Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been declared out for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, according to a fantasy football injury alert published on November 4, 2026. The news has immediate ripple effects on the fantasy value of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and other Seahawks pass catchers.
Darnold, who started against the Washington Commanders on September 27, 2026, at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, will miss the upcoming game. Fantasy managers should adjust lineups accordingly.
