Jarrett Stidham Fantasy

The New England Patriots are trading quarterback Jarrett Stidham and a seventh-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for a sixth-round pick. The 25-year-old Stidham was drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2019 draft out of Auburn. Once seen as a potential successor to Tom Brady, Stidham descended on the depth chart with the team's 2020 signing of Cam Newton and subsequently its 2021 first-round selection of current starting quarterback Mac Jones. Stidham has only seen the field sparingly in eight career games with zero starts, typically only seeing action when games have been out of hand. He had back surgery prior to the 2021 season, relegating him to third-string duties upon his return. Stidham is expected to compete with quarterbacks Nick Mullens and Garrett Gilbert to back up starter Derek Carr, but he is likely to remain behind all of them for now.

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham (back) is officially back in the mix. The Pats activated Stidham on Tuesday, adding him to a QB room that already includes Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer. Stidham has appeared in eight games over the past two years with New England, combining to have completed 50 percent (24-for-48) of his passes to go along with two passing scores and four interceptions. Jones appears to have a stronghold on the starting gig for the foreseeable future, but the Patriots remain intrigued by the 25-year-old Stidham. There's no reason to assume anyone but Jones will earn a start under center for New England this year barring injury.

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham (back) underwent surgery and will miss the rest of training camp. Stidham had back surgery and was given a three-month timetable. He'll miss the beginning of the regular season, but wasn't going to compete for a starting spot anyway. Veteran Cam Newton and rookie Mac Jones are battling for the starting quarterback job. Brian Hoyer will compete with Jake Dolegala for the No. 3 spot on the Patriots roster. Stidham won't be worth drafting in fantasy leagues and will almost certainly be the third string once he's healthy.
