# Will Drew Lock start for the Seahawks in Week 2?

Yes — **Drew Lock is confirmed to start for the Seahawks in Week 2 against the Cardinals.** Sam Darnold suffered a soft-tissue glute injury in the first quarter of Week 1 and has been ruled out. The Seahawks aren't placing him on IR, so he could return in roughly 4 weeks, but Lock gets the nod this week (from the [Drew Lock page](https://chatffb.com/players/drew-lock) and [Sam Darnold page](https://chatffb.com/players/sam-darnold)).

Lock looked sharp off the bench in Week 1 — 16/22, 113.3 passer rating, and a 45-yard TD to JSN to upset the Patriots. That said, he's ranked QB27 for Week 2 — Seattle's run-heavy offense limits his fantasy ceiling, so he's a game-flow-dependent streamer at best.

On Mayo Media Network, they noted the flipside: *"If we get the Drew Lock that played against New England, I think Seattle's in real trouble for these four to six weeks"* — pointing to concerns about whether he can sustain that efficiency. Worth a monitor, not a must-add in most leagues.
