Jarrett Stidham Fantasy

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.

NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran predicts that New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham will perform well enough in training camp with second-team repetitions to make the final 53-man roster. Cam Newton won't be in New England for the long haul, so Stidham represents an eventual backup to Mac Jones that has been in the system for three years. Stidham making the roster would likely be bad news for journeyman Brian Hoyer. The 24-year-old Stidham still has some upside, but at best, he'll enter the season as the No. 3 behind Newton and Jones, making him one to avoid in all redraft formats.
