2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Could compete for QB1 job
Coach Sean Payton said Monday that Stidham isn't necessarily in the "driver's seat" but will compete for Denver's starting QB job, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
The broader context of the conversation involved Payton telling reporters that trading up from pick No. 12 to select a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft was a "realistic" option for the Broncos. He mentioned the Cardinals being in a good spot as owners of the No. 4 pick -- perhaps a nod to rumors that teams like the Broncos, Vikings and Raiders are interested in moving up for Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy. With Stidham and Ben DiNucci being the only quarterbacks currently on their roster, the Broncos are sure to bring in more competition even if it isn't in the form of an early first-round pick. Other options could include veteran free agents like Ryan Tannehill and Carson Wentz or third-tier draft prospects like Bo Nix and Michael Penix. The 27-year-old Stidham has one season remaining on a two-year, $10 million contract, following a 2023 campaign in which he started two games and completed 40 of 66 passes for 496 yards (60.6 completion rate, 7.5 YPA), with two TDs, one INT, seven sacks and eight rushing yards.

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.
