Who Should I Start? Stetson Bennett IV or Sean Clifford

Sunday, August 10, 8:51 AM

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.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Sean Clifford to the active roster before their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Clifford will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback as both Jordan Love (elbow) and Malik Willis (thumb) battled injuries during the week. While both quarterbacks are off the injury report and do not carry a designation, Clifford would be eligible to enter the game if both quarterbacks were to face a setback during Sunday's contest. Clifford only attempted one pass in his professional career and completed it for 37 yards during the 2023 season. DFS players should view Jordan Love as a low-end option in DFS as he will face a tough Philadelphia defense, the third-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.
