Jarrett Stidham Fantasy

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham took over for the ineffective Cam Newton during the third quarter. Unsurprisingly, Stidham did not look any better than Newton did during their Week 16 blowout loss. He completed four of 11 passing attempts for 44 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. It's unclear which of the two quarterbacks will start versus the New York Jets next week. Regardless, neither is a long term solution for this team or a reliable fantasy option.

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham saw a few reps during the blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. It was a horrendous game by quarterback Cam Newton. He was benched with 10 minutes left in fourth quarter in favor of Stidham. He completed five of seven passing attempts for 27 yards and added one rushing attempt for three yards in garbage time. This move was basically just the Pats conceding the game and getting Newton out to avoid injury. There is no indication that Stidham is going to start next week and he wouldn't have much fantasy value even if he did suit up.

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham saw some repetitions during the second half of the Week 7 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Cam Newton was benched after a three-interception performance late in the game. Sadly, it didn't get much better once Stidham took over under center. He completed six of 10 passing attempts for 64 yards and one interception. Stidham looks awkward, uncomfortable and confused in the pocket. The Pats confirmed that Newton is the starter going forward. There's almost no reason to own Stidham in any single-season fantasy format.
