Jarrett Stidham A Desperation QB2 In First Start Of The Year

Jarrett Stidham A Desperation QB2 In First Start Of The Year

11 months ago

The Denver Broncos made headlines earlier this week when they announced they'd be benching quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the final two regular season games due to financial reasons heading into the offseason. Stidham has a very favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, but fantasy managers would have to be downright desperate to consider using the 27-year-old as their QB2 in superflex leagues in Week 17. He has taken all of four offensive snaps this year. Stidham started two games for the Las Vegas Raiders at the end of last season, going 45-for-70 for 584 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions while running with the ball 14 times for 84 yards. Stidham looked half decent in that two-game audition in 2022, but he's going to be without No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton (concussion) and could also be missing Jerry Jeudy (illness) and rookie receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring).
