2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stidham is technically the incumbent starter in Denver, but it’s just a matter of time until Bo Nix, the 12th overall pick in this year’s draft, takes over. And if Nix takes longer than expected to develop, Stidham still has to contend with Zach Wilson, for whom the Broncos traded in April. Any scenario is plausible, from starting Week 1 to being the third-string emergency QB. Stidham started the final two games of last season amid the Russell Wilson benching fiasco and did not impress. He was on target with just 65.2 percent of his attempts -- 50th among 53 QBs with at least 60 attempts -- and completed just two of his 10 attempts of 20-plus yards. If Stidham is under center come Week 1, he’ll have less to target than he had last season as WR Jerry Jeudy was traded to the Browns. Courtland Sutton is still around, though, and the Broncos signed Josh Reynolds, who will compete with second-year Marvin Mims for targets. Stidham has simply adequate arm strength and doesn’t run much. He’ll need help from his supporting cast and coach Sean Payton to have value in two-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Denver adds QB in Round 1
Following the 2024 NFL Draft, Stidham is joined in the Broncos' QB room by newcomer Zach Wilson, along with No. 12 overall pick Bo Nix, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After the Broncos released Russell Wilson last month, it was inevitable that they would add QB depth to join Stidham, who started Denver's final two contests last season. While Nix is no doubt being groomed as the team's future starter, it remains to be seen if he'll step into that role immediately. Until then, Stidham and Wilson will presumably both have an opportunity to compete for the No. 1 role, but neither veteran signal-caller profiles as a high-value fantasy option in either re-draft or dynasty formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May not get first-round competition
Broncos general manager George Paton said Thursday the team won't "force it" in terms of picking a quarterback with the 12th overall selection in next week's NFL Draft, per Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, making it possible Stidham won't compete for the starting job with a Day 1 draft choice.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos famously released Russell Wilson earlier this offseason and have yet to sign a quarterback in free agency, leaving Stidham atop the positional depth chart for the moment. Paton noted Thursday there's no guarantee Denver even stands pat at No. 12 given the team has received offers to both move up and back from that slot, while head coach Sean Payton added a quarterback would have to be "the right fit, the right one" to warrant a first-round investment.

2019
Stidham started in the Raiders' final two games of the 2022 season after Derek Carr was benched, and he turned his solid performance into a two-year contract with Denver. The 2019 fourth-rounder figures to be the favorite for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, backing up Russell Wilson. Wilson has been a model of health throughout most of his career, but he did undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this offseason. With all signs pointing to a complete recovery ahead of the 2023 campaign, Stidham won't likely see meaningful playing time barring an injury to Wilson. The fourth-year veteran has more in-game experience than fellow QBs Jarrett Guarantano and Ben DiNucci, which should help him to secure the Broncos' primary backup spot.
