Stetson Bennett's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett will serve as the backup for Week 1 and Week 2 of the regular season. This was expected to happen with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended for the first two weeks of the season. Bennett sat out of the preseason finale after starting the first two games. He threw for 437 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions during the preseason. Those aren't exactly great results, but Bennett isn't likely to see the field at all in 2024. Matthew Stafford should be full healthy and ready to go for the season opener. Garoppolo should take over as the primary backup once he's cleared to play, so Bennett is unlikely to play at all unless Stafford gets injured in the first two games.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett earned the start and played the team's entire preseason game in a 13-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Bennett completed 17-of-31 passes for 213 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The first thing that stands out is that he did a better job of taking care of the ball after throwing four interceptions in the opening preseason game. He found JJ Laap on a long, 47-yard TD strike in the fourth quarter. For the most part, Bennett was effective in this game as he competes to win the backup job behind Matthew Stafford after taking last year off to deal with mental health issues.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett drew the start in the team's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys and played the whole contest. Bennett was 24-of-38 for 224 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions. The turnovers are a huge issue as Bennett competes for the backup role behind Matthew Stafford. Bennett missed all of last season addressing mental health issues so competing in a full preseason game is a nice step forward. He will have to sharpen his game and limit the turnovers as the regular season approaches.
