2025 Fantasy Outlook
Stidham inked a two-year deal with Denver this offseason, solidifying his spot as the primary backup behind Bo Nix. The veteran quarterback had an extremely quiet season in 2024, logging just 15 snaps in relief and not attempting a single pass. The 28-year-old is familiar with head coach Sean Payton's system and can be a serviceable option if Nix is forced to miss time. In his last two starts for the Broncos in 2023, Stidham completed 40 of 66 passes for 496 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. With Nix firmly entrenched as the Broncos' starter, Stidham remains an experienced insurance policy behind one of the league's rising stars. Read Past Outlooks

Taking over as starter
Stidham will start in place of Bo Nix (ankle) in the AFC Championship Game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle in the final moments of Denver's divisional-round win over the Bills. He was able to finish the game, though his season is over. Stidham will now face either the Texans or the Patriots with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. He appeared in only one game this season and has not attempted a pass during the campaign.

Stidham is technically the incumbent starter in Denver, but it’s just a matter of time until Bo Nix, the 12th overall pick in this year’s draft, takes over. And even if Nix takes longer than expected to develop, Stidham may have to contend with Zach Wilson, for whom the Broncos traded in April. Any scenario is plausible for Week 1, from starting to being the third-string QB. Stidham started Denver's final two games of last season amid the Russell Wilson benching fiasco and did not impress. He was on target with just 65.2 percent of his attempts -- 50th among 53 QBs with at least 60 attempts -- and completed just two of his 10 throws of 20-plus yards. If Stidham is under center come Week 1, he may have even less to work with than he had last season after WR Jerry Jeudy was traded to the Browns. Courtland Sutton is still around, though, and the Broncos signed Josh Reynolds, who will compete with second-year pro Marvin Mims and rookie fourth-round pick Troy Franklin. Stidham has simply adequate arm strength and doesn’t run much, so he'll need help from his supporting cast and coach Sean Payton just to have value in two-QB leagues if he ends up starting.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets backing of coach, WR1
Head coach Sean Payton and wide receiver Courtland Sutton both expressed confidence in Stidham, who is preparing to start the AFC Championship Game in the wake of Bo Nix suffering an ankle injury, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports. "I have no doubt in my mind that Jarrett is gonna be ready to go play," Sutton said Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Payton reiterated that he has believed all season that both Nix and Stidham are starting-caliber quarterbacks in the NFL. Stidham played in some big games in college at Auburn and excelled in the preseason with the Broncos. He'll face a Patriots franchise that has been beaten by a backup quarterback in a big game before, losing to Nick Foles and the Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
