Who Should I Start? Easton Stick or Adrian Martinez

Tuesday, August 26, 11:24 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Easton Stick was released on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move helped the Falcons trim their roster down to 53 players, and it leaves Atlanta with only Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins in its quarterback room. Stick appeared in all three preseason games, completing 54 of 78 pass attempts for 520 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also took five sacks. The former fifth-round pick spent his first six NFL seasons with the Chargers before inking a deal with Atlanta in April. Now, he'll look for a new landing spot as Week 1 approaches. NewOrleans.Football's Mike Triplett reported that the Saints looked into signing Stick before he wound up with Atlanta, so perhaps they'll continue to show interest now that he's a free agent again. Regardless of where the veteran quarterback ends up, he should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed quarterback Adrian Marintez to their practice squad on Thursday. Martinez was cut by the New York Jets earlier in the week. They decided to only carry two quarterbacks with Justin Field and Tyrod Taylor. Martinez was decent in the preseason, completing 30-of-51 passing attempts for 352 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The 25-year-old will serve as depth behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones. There is no reason to stash Martinez at the moment.
