Jarrett Stidham's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham went 20-for-34 for 272 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the 27-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the regular season finale on Sunday. He ran three times for two yards and was sacked five times for a loss of 34 yards. His lone touchdown was a 24-yard strike to Jerry Jeudy. With the Broncos benching Russell Wilson for the final two games for financial reasons, Stidham acquitted himself well, going 40-for-66 for 496 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while winning one game. The Broncos are expected to move on from Wilson in March, but Stidham will most likely begin training camp in the summer as a backup to whoever the Broncos choose to bring in to replace Wilson. At the very least, Stidham has proven in the last two games of the regular season the last two years with the Broncos and Raiders that he's a serviceable backup.

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham will be cheap in DFS contests in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders, but there's not a whole lot else to get excited about, even with top receiver Courtland Sutton returning from a concussion that kept him sidelined in the Week 17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In his first start of the year last week, Stidham went 20-for-32 for 224 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions. The 27-year-old got the win and didn't turn the ball over, but nothing else really stood out, and his lone touchdown pass came with receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey basically doing all the work. He'll have a slightly higher ceiling with Sutton playing this weekend, but Stidham will be a low-end QB2 option without much upside against a Raiders defense that has been stingy against opposing QBs in the last five weeks.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced on Monday that quarterback Jarrett Stidham will remain the starter for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, as expected, with Russell Wilson serving as the backup. With Wilson not expected to return to the team in 2024, the question now becomes whether Stidham's run as the starter will continue into next season. He's in the first year of a two-year, $10 million deal and went 20-for-32 for 224 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. At 27, it was just Stidham's third NFL start in his fifth season. Stidham also impressed in two starts to close out last year for the Raiders, but he'll remain a low-end QB2 with minimal upside for fantasy managers still playing for something in Week 18.
