Jarrett Stidham Staying On With Denver

Sunday, March 9, 9:09 PM

The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that the Denver Broncos are bringing back quarterback Jarrett Stidham on a two-year $12 million contract with $7 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old spent the last two seasons with the team, appearing in seven games. However, he did not attempt a pass in 2024 and served solely as a backup to rookie sensation Bo Nix. Stidham figures to occupy that role again in 2025 -- barring Nix's health -- and reportedly would have garnered significant interest as a potential backup on the open market. However, the Broncos sought to lock up their second-string option with extensive knowledge of the team's current system. The Auburn product can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes sans a bench stash in deep superflex dynasty formats.

Justin Herbert Off to Good Start at Training Camp

Thursday, July 17, 7:06 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is off to a strong start at training camp on the first day of practice on Thursday, according to Chargers.com's Eric Smith. Herbert connected with receiver Jalen Reagor on a 50-yard touchdown in 11-on-11 work. The 27-year-old was also sharp during 7-on-7 drills, finding rookie wideout Keandre Lambert-Smith for a 10-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. It's obviously very early this summer, but Herbert appears to be in midseason form throwing the football. Big wideout Mike Williams announced his plans to retire on Thursday, so Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and second-round rookie Tre Harris figures to be Herbert's primary aerial targets in 2025. Outside of McConkey, Herbert doesn't have a whole lot to work with in what should once again be a run-first offense. Target him as a QB2 in fantasy.
