Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Stetson Bennett IV

Tuesday, August 5, 2:17 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday after he passed his physical, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kyle Trask will be the backup to starter Baker Mayfield, but with Michael Pratt still not practicing in training camp, Bridgwater will give the team additional depth at the position and a veteran presence in the QB room. The 32-year-old retired from the NFL before last season but then quickly changed his mind and signed with the Detroit Lions in late December. Bridgewater didn't get into a regular-season game last year while serving as an emergency option for the Lions behind Jared Goff and Hendon Hooker. He did take three snaps in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Bridgewater remains off the fantasy radar.

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.
