Continues to heat up
Darnold completed 24 of 30 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 42-34 win over the Colts. He added eight yards on six carries.
Analysis: Darnold piled it on the Colts late in the first half, finding Terrelle Pryor in traffic for a seven-yard touchdown. Darnold was without one of his favorites, Quincy Enunwa (ankle), for much of the game, but adjusted by turning to the likes of Pryor and Jermaine Kearse. After three straight games completing 50 percent or fewer of his passes, Darnold topped 62 percent for just the second time this season. He next gets a Minnesota defense on Sunday that has had its struggles defending the pass.

Efficient in win
Darnold completed 10 of 22 passes for 198 yards, three touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 34-16 win over Denver.
Analysis: Darnold didn't connect on many passes but didn't need to. Protected by a rushing attack that gashed Denver, Darnold hit Robby Anderson on touchdown bombs of 76 and 35 yards in the second quarter. For weeks, fans have been waiting for Darnold to finally build chemistry in one of the better offensive finds the team had in 2017. Now that this pair seems to be sparking, Darnold should have some breathing room throwing underneath to his other targets. On Sunday, he takes on a Colts defense that has…read more

Quiet in loss to Jacksonville
Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for eight yards in Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Darnold took care of the ball, but he failed to make much of a dent against Jacksonville's elite defense. His lone touchdown was a two-yard strike to tight end Jordan Leggett early in the fourth quarter. The rookie quarterback's still a work in progress, but he should have an easier time at home against Denver next week.

Key interceptions in loss
Darnold completed 15 of 31 passes for 169 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Thursday's 21-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Darnold faced consistent pressure from an aggressive Browns front, but he also extinguished any hopes of a victory when his pass attempt to Robby Anderson was intercepted at the Cleveland 34-yard line with 15 seconds remaining. The rookie had short-circuited the previous possession with a pick as well, as Joe Schobert snagged a throw intended for Jermaine Kearse at the Jets' 43 with 1:27 left. Darnold did show encouraging rapport with Quincy Enunwa and Kearse in particular, and he was able to…read more

Missed opportunities abound in eight-point loss
Darnold completed 25 of 41 passes for 334 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Miami. He also gained one yard on two rushing attempts.
Analysis: Darnold once again put his team in an early hole with a first-quarter interception -- this one was returned to the Jets' 15-yard line -- and Miami got into the end zone three plays later. He almost rebounded with a score late in the first half, but he overthrew a wide open Quincy Enunwa in the back of the end zone before watching tight end Chris Herndon get tackled at the one-yard line as the clock expired. The rookie bounced back after the break by getting his team on the board with a 28-yard…read more

Looks good in debut
Darnold completed 16 of 21 passes for 198 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday night's 48-17 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Darnold's first career throw couldn't have been any worse, as he rolled right before winging the ball back across the field for an interception that was returned for a touchdown. After that blunder, however, the rookie settled in quite admirably, leading a number of scoring drives and showing good third-down efficiency. Darnold's first touchdown came on a 41-yard toss to Robby Anderson to close the first half, and then he connected with Quincy Enunwa on a 21-yard score on New York's opening…read more

Officially named starter
Darnold will open the season as the Jets' starting QB.
Analysis: This was expected since Teddy Bridgewater was traded to the Saints, but the Jets waited until Monday to make the word official. Josh McCown is thus in line to serve as Darnold's backup. While the rookie signal-caller has plenty of long-term upside, his initial fantasy prospects are muddled by the Jets' unsettled WR/TE situations.

All but assured of Week 1 start
Coach Todd Bowles hasn't officially named a starter, but ESPN.com's Rich Cimini has no doubt Darnold will get the nod Week 1 in Detroit.
Analysis: With Teddy Bridgewater traded to New Orleans on Wednesday and Josh McCown starting Thursday's preseason finale against Philadelphia, the Jets haven't exactly made an effort to hide their intention of starting Darnold. The team still hasn't actually come out and said it, but Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News and Brian Costello of the NY Post agree with Cimini that all signs point to Darnold getting the Week 1 start.

Likely Week 1 starter
Darnold appears poised to open the upcoming season as the Jets' starting quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Jets have yet to officially confirm that Darnold will be their Week 1 starter, but the rookie's claim to the top job was strengthened after Teddy Bridgewater was dealt to the Saints on Wednesday. The 39-year-old Josh McCown served as the team's primary starter under center in 2017 and performed capably in that capacity, but he seems likely to transition to a backup gig with Darnold demonstrating in practices and in exhibition play that he's ready for the No. 1 role.

Poised to start Week 1
Darnold has "all but wrapped up the starting job", according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.
Analysis: While Jets coach Todd Bowles continues to play coy when it comes to the team's Week 1 starter, Cimini is justified in believing Darnold is the clear-cut frontrunner. Teddy Bridgewater has only played 16 percent of first-team reps in camp, with Darnold and Josh McCown splitting the remaining 84 percent almost straight down the middle. McCown has played only one drive in the preseason, though, and Darnold helped his case in Friday's matchup with the Giants by leading a pair of first-half…read more

Another step forward in loss
Darnold completed eight of 16 passes for 86 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Jets' 22-16 preseason loss to the Giants on Friday. He also rushed twice for 13 yards.
Analysis: The rookie played the entire first half, leading the offense to touchdowns on a pair of drives. Darnold capped off a five-play, 47-yard march in the second quarter with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Terrelle Pryor, which served as the highlight of his night. Although the offense finished the first half on an extremely sluggish note (seven plays, minus-two yards and a fumble over last four possessions), Darnold still likely made enough of an impression with his work earlier in the contest to stay…read more

Should get extended run
Darnold likely will play the entire first half in Friday's preseason game against the Giants, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Jets haven't actually announced their starter, but Darnold's work with the first-team offense throughout the week provides a strong hint. The rookie could even play into the third quarter before giving way to Teddy Bridgewater. The Jets don't seem too worried about taking a look at 39-year-old Josh McCown, who played one drive in the first week of the preseason. All three quarterbacks are still considered to be in the running for the starting job, though recent signs point to Darnold…read more

Trending in the right direction
Darnold got the bulk of the Jets' QB reps Sunday, likely setting the stage for him to start Friday's preseason game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though the Jets have yet to tip their hand with regard to their Week 1 starter at QB, Cimini noted Sunday that the sense he gets "is that, barring regression against the Giants, (Darnold is) trending toward" earning the assignment. While veteran signal-callers Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater are still on hand, from the moment Darnold was taken third overall in April's draft it was only a matter of time before he gained the Jets' starting role.

Quarterback competition remains unsettled
Even though Darnold started Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins, coach Todd Bowles continues to describe New York's quarterback competition as "cloudy," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Darnold certainly didn't do anything to knock himself out of contention, as his interception came on a fourth-down play where he had no choice but to try to squeeze the ball into a tight window. Teddy Bridgewater threw the team's lone touchdown in the second half and is mounting a strong challenge for the starting spot, though he could also be a trade candidate since Darnold is the Jets' future at the position. Another factor to consider is that New York's first three games of the season are…read more

Plays first half in second preseason game
Darnold got the start in Week 2 of the preseason Thursday in Washington, completing eight of 11 passes for 62 yards and an interception in the Jets' 15-13 loss.
Analysis: Darnold was hampered by poor offensive line play as New York went three-and-out on its opening drive, throwing the ball away due to pressure on second down before being sacked on third down. The rookie quarterback led his team to a field goal on the next possession, though he took another third-down sack inside Washington's 20-yard line. His third and final possession of the first half ended with a fourth-down interception in Redskins territory. While Darnold still isn't pushing the envelope…read more

Set to start Thursday
Darnold will start Thursday night's preseason tilt against Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Darnold is gaining momentum in his quest to open the regular season as the Jets' starting QB over veteran signal-callers Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the rookie is expected to garner "extensive snaps" Thursday, which sets the stage for Darnold to carve out DFS utility this week.

Trending toward Week 1 start
Darnold is "trending toward the opening-day start" at QB for the Jets, per ESPN's Rich Cimini.
Analysis: That's a notion echoed by Manish Mehta of the Daily News, who states that "it'd be an upset if Darnold isn't the Week 1 starter." Darnold is expected to see plenty of action in Thursday night's preseason game against Washington and barring a regression in that contest, it may be hard to stop the momentum that the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft has built toward the goal of officially overtaking veteran signal-callers Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater.

Preparing for hefty snap count
Darnold is expected to play extensive snaps in Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Darnold completed 13 of 18 passes for 96 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in his first preseason action against the Falcons. He also ran twice for eight yards. Rapoport added that Darnold could "solidify his hold on the starting job" with another strong performance, though note that veteran signal-callers Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater remain on hand to helm the offense in the event that the Jets elect to ease Darnold into his destined role as the team's franchise QB. In any case,…read more

Gets first-team reps at practice
For the second straight day Monday, Darnold (finger) took the bulk of the Jets' first-team QB reps at practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though coach Todd Bowles won't say who will start Thursday night's preseason game against Washington, it looks like Darnold will get the nod over Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. Beyond that, as certain as it is that Darnold will eventually claim the team's starting job for the long haul, it remains to be seen if the rookie's ascent to that role will be complete by Week 1.

Possible starter Thursday
Darnold was spotted Monday with his left ring finger wrapped, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: It's presumably a minor concern, stemming from the QB's hand getting stepped on during Friday's preseason game. In fact, ESPN's Rich Cimini relays that while Darnold remained third in the team's QB rotation behind Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday, he took the majority of the first-team QB reps at practice, suggesting that he might start Thursday night's game against Washington.

Efficient in preseason opener
Darnold made his professional debut in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Falcons, completing 13 of 18 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on two scrambles.
Analysis: As expected, Darnold was the third quarterback to enter the game for New York after Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. He appeared to have thrown a touchdown pass to Charles Johnson in the two-minute drill late in the first half, but it was called back on offensive pass interference. Instead of pouting about it, the rookie quarterback showed poise by connecting with Johnson for a 14-yard score on the very next play. Most of his other throws besides the touchdown were of the safe variety, though…read more

In mix for Week 1 starting role
Darnold "has a very fair shot" of emerging as the Jets' starting quarterback for the regular-season opener Sept. 10 against the Lions, a source familiar with the situation informed Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: After the Jets tabbed Darnold with the No. 3 overall pick in April, it was fully expected that he would start at some point in 2018. With the Jets re-signing Josh McCown and bringing in Teddy Bridgewater in free agency, however, the odds of Darnold contributing right away in the NFL seemed low heading into training camp. The 21-year-old rookie has apparently impressed even more than anticipated in his initial practices with the Jets and now apparently has a realistic opportunity to challenge…read more

Contract impasse ends
Darnold has ended his contract holdout, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the rookie signal-caller -- who was not in attendance when the team began training camp Friday -- is expected to be at the Jets' facility Monday. Darnold's deal will slot in as a four-year contract worth $30.2 million. Now that he's in the fold, the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft is slated to compete with fellow quarterbacks Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. For now, McCown tops the depth chart, as the Jets do not intend to hurry Darnold's development, but given the…read more

Still not signed
Darnold hasn't signed a contract and won't report for training camp Tuesday with the Jets' other rookies, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It's still a bit early for significant concern, as the Jets won't actually start practicing until Friday. Head coach Todd Bowles said in June that Darnold will enter camp as the No. 3 quarterback, starting off behind Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. The rookie has time to make his move, but it won't help his case if he misses the early portion of camp.

Entering camp as third string
Head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Darnold will start training camp as the Jets' third-string quarterback, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Josh McCown will enter training camp as the No. 1 quarterback, which doesn't come as much of a surprise, while Teddy Bridgewater will assume backup duties. Bridgewater was reportedly very impressive in terms of both movement and mechanics during the Jets' mandatory minicamp, and now Darnold will likely need a very impressive training camp to overtake the former Vikings quarterback and become the team's top backup as a rookie. However, even if Darnold does end up being the No. 3 option to start…read more
