Sam Ehlinger Fantasy Stats

Denver Broncos quarterback Sam Ehlinger was released on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move comes as Denver trims down its roster to 53 players, and it leaves the team with just Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham in its quarterback room. Ehlinger appeared in all three preseason games, completing 42 of 57 pass attempts for 415 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also took four sacks. The former sixth-round pick hasn't appeared in a regular season game since the 2022 campaign with the Colts. He's a candidate to join the practice squad in Denver or elsewhere, but his path to playing time includes numerous obstacles. He should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos quarterback Sam Ehlinger handled the final three quarters of Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints, completing 22 of 31 passes for 181 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Ehlinger capped his outing by connecting with Kyrese Rowan on a five-yard score, but also absorbed three sacks along the way. While he showcased poise and flashes of playmaking ability, inconsistency remains a concern. With Bo Nix firmly entrenched as the starter, Ehlinger is competing to lock down the backup role. Cut day is approaching, and his roster spot remains on the bubble.

The Denver Broncos have reached a one-year agreement with former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger. FOX Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported the news, though the contract details have not been reported. Ehlinger had multiple offers, per Schultz, but chose the Broncos because he saw the best fit with head coach Sean Payton. The Texas product was a sixth-round pick for Indianapolis in 2021 and made just three starts over his four seasons with the team. In four appearances -- all in 2022 -- Ehlinger has 573 yards and a 3:3 TD:INT ratio with a 63.3% completion rate. He'll compete with incumbent backup Jarrett Stidham for the second-string quarterback role behind second-year sensation Bo Nix.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger completed five of his six passes for 80 yards in the team's loss, his only incompletion resulting in an interception. The Colts played five quarterbacks in Sunday's contest, with Ehlinger playing behind Richardson and Flacco, solidifying his spot as the QB3 in this offense. The former Longhorn will compete with Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean for the role, and all three will be off the fantasy radar heading into the 2024 season.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Nick Foles (ribs) will not play against the Houston Texans in Week 18. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Foles is still sore after taking a brutal hit against the New York Giants in the Week 17 loss. Sam Ehlinger will make his third start of the season, with Matt Ryan serving as his backup. Ehlinger has completed 41 of his 66 passing attempts for 364 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He remains off the fantasy radar in single-QB leagues in Week 18.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger took over for Nick Foles (ribs) when the latter exited their Week 17 game against the New York Giants in the second quarter after a sack by Kayvon Thibodeaux. However, Ehlinger wasn't much of a help for the struggling Colts. While he went 9-for-14 in passes, he only gained 60 yards for an average of 4.3 per completion. The 24-year-old added 12 rushing yards on one attempt. However, Ehlinger did complete the Colts' only touchdown in the 38-10 blowout when he found Michael Pittman Jr. in the end zone for a six-yard pass. It remains to be seen if Foles or Ehlinger will be starting for Indianapolis in their season-ender against the Houston Texans next week. But either way, it's best to stay away from both players when looking for a quarterback for your fantasy roster.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys. Jeff Saturday had indicated earlier in the week he wanted to make a change to the depth chart. That's exactly what he did, as now Nick Foles will serve as Matt Ryan's backup. Ehlinger has played two games in 2022-23, throwing for 304 yards and an interception while completing just 61.5% of his throws. For those who still have the 24-year-old on their fantasy roster, it doesn't appear he'll be back under center anytime soon, as Foles is likely the next in line if Ryan continues to underperform offensively.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will start in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders over Sam Ehlinger. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday will go back to the veteran signal-caller in his first game as head coach on the road on Sunday. Ryan was seen taking snaps from starting center Ryan Kelly during pre-game warmups, which was the first sign that the Colts were making the switch at QB. The 37-year-old Ryan didn't look good at all in his first seven starts this year before being benched, but he has to be considered an upgrade for Indy's pass-catchers like Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce. Still, he shouldn't be considered as anything more than a low-end QB2 in his return to the starting role against the Raiders.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan was spotted taking first-team reps over Sam Ehlinger prior to Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a significant development as it looks like interim head coach Jeff Saturday has made a change under center. Ryan completed 203 of 297 passes (68.4 percent) for 2,008 yards, nine touchdowns, and nine interceptions through the first seven weeks of the season. He was benched prior to Week 8. Through two games, Ehlinger tossed for just 304 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He added 54 yards on the ground but was sacked a whopping nine times last week. The return of Ryan boosts the fantasy value of Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, and Alec Pierce.

Indianapolis Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said that the quarterback situation between Sam Ehlinger and Matt Ryan isn't a closed competition. Ryan has recovered from his right shoulder injury and will serve as Ehlinger's backup in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Saturday said the team will constantly evaluate every position, so although the Colts said that Ehlinger would be their starter for the rest of the season before they fired head coach Frank Reich, there's now a possibility the Colts turn back to Ryan if Ehlinger continues to struggle under center. Ehlinger will likely be on a short leash now, and Ryan could once again become relevant in two-QB superflex leagues if he regains the starting role.
