Who Should I Start? Sam Ehlinger or Stetson Bennett IV

Tuesday, April 1, 7:26 PM

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.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett completed 16 of 24 pass attempts for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Saturday's preseason opener. He also took one sack and rushed three times for an additional 11 yards on the ground. A former fourth-round pick, Bennett is heading into his third pro season and has never taken a regular-season snap. He's unlikely to break that streak anytime soon, as he's almost a lock to open 2025 as the Rams' No. 3 quarterback behind veterans Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo. Although Bennett, like any quarterback, would have some appeal in superflex leagues if thrust into the starting role, his path to playing time is too improbable. Fantasy managers should leave him on waivers in all formats.
