The Los Angeles Chargers are re-signing quarterback Easton Stick, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The former fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State played in five games last year after Justin Herbert (finger) went on Injured Reserve with a broken finger. In those games, Stick posted 1,129 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He reportedly drew interest from multiple teams on the open market, but he landed back with L.A. under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. Even if Herbert goes down this season for any length of time, Stick will have limited fantasy upside following the team's release of Mike Williams and trade of Keenan Allen to the Bears.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick had another struggle game in a Week 18 matchup against an all-backups version of the Kansas City Chiefs. Stick threw the ball 47 times, completing 28 passes for 258 empty yards. He added 77 yards on the ground on 13 carries and lost a fumble along the way. It was yet another game without a passing touchdown for Stick, who ends the season with three total passing touchdowns, all of which came in the same Week 14 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers will have starter Justin Herbert back for Week 1 next season, but the backup quarterback position is certainly something they'll need to address sooner than later.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick is not a recommended fantasy option for a Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Stick has likely struggled his way out of the QB2 position for next season, but he'll get one more start to wrap up this season for the Chargers, Going up against the Chiefs defense, Stick is unlikely to be able to do much with a thoroughly decimated Los Angeles offense. He's outside of the top-20 fantasy quarterbacks this week, even with several teams resting their starters.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick didn't do much in a Week 17 loss to the Denver Broncos. Stick attempted 38 passes, completing 24 of them for 220 scoreless yards. He took one sack but added 31 yards on the ground with five carries. He didn't turn the ball over, but he also didn't do too much to move the ball, with the Chargers scoring just nine points on three field goals. The Chargers season will mercifully end next week with a meaningless game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Easton Stick Not A Week 17 Option Despite A Good Matchup
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick had the best game of his career in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills but still won't be much of a fantasy option in Week 17 when the Chargers take on the Denver Broncos. Stick kept the ball safe and did not commit any turnovers in Week 16 and even ran in a touchdown on his own, but was 23-of-33 for 215 scoreless yards through the air. Despite a good matchup against a burnable Broncos defense, Stick remains outside of the top-20 fantasy quarterbacks while attempting to lead what is now one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick found the end zone on his own in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He attempted 33 passes, completing 23 of them for 215 yards without any turnovers. Stick also ran the ball seven times for 25 more yards and a score. His touchdown came on a one-yard run in the second quarter. It was a decent enough performance for Stick against a solid Bills defense, but it wasn't much of a fantasy performance despite the rushing touchdown. Stick and the Chargers will face the Broncos on the road on New Year's Eve.
Easton Stick Not Worth Starting In Most Week 16 Lineups
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick isn't worth starting in most formats for a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Stick was able to put up a decent fantasy performance last week thanks to some garbage time yardage, but he's been very bad on the field and the Bills defense has been very good against opposing quarterbacks all year long. Stick comes in ranked outside of the top-25 quarterbacks for Week 16, so there are very few leagues where he makes sense anywhere near a starting lineup.
Easton Stick Struggles To A Three-Score Performance In Week 15
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick played in an NFL game that ended with a 63-21 score on Thursday. Stick attempted 32 passes, completing 23 of them for 257 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, and two lost fumbles. He also took three sacks, losing 23 yards. It was the epitome of a quarterback performance that was decent in fantasy but awful on the field. The Chargers offense looked completely helpless all night, and none of their players besides maybe Keenan Allen (if he gets healthy) will be fantasy relevant for the remainder of the season.
Easton Stick Not A Starting Option In Most Leagues
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick is not a starting option in most fantasy leagues in a Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Stick will get the start and is likely to keep the role for the remainder of the season with starter Justin Herbert (finger) done for the season. Stick played most of the game in Week 14, throwing for 179 empty yards, taking two sacks, and committing two fumbles. Even with injuries ravaging the quarterback position throughout the NFL, Stick will be one of the worst starting quarterbacks to take the field in Week 15 and should be left on almost all fantasy waiver wires.
Los Angeles backup quarterback Easton Stick took over in a Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos. Starter Justin Herbert (finger) was injured in the second quarter and was unable to return. Stick ended up attempting 24 passes, completing 13 of them for 179 yards. He took two sacks, losing 31 yards. He led the only Chargers touchdown drive of the game in the fourth quarter, but it was mostly a performance marred by overthrows and poor footwork in the pocket. With Herbert doubtful at best on a short week, Stick is likely to start on Thursday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders. It will be a good week to start the Raiders defense in fantasy leagues.
