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 even if Nix takes longer than expected to develop, Stidham may have to contend with Zach Wilson, for whom the Broncos traded in April. Any scenario is plausible for Week 1, from starting to being the third-string QB. Stidham started Denver's 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 throws of 20-plus yards. If Stidham is under center come Week 1, he may have even less to work with than he had last season after 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 pro Marvin Mims and rookie fourth-round pick Troy Franklin. Stidham has simply adequate arm strength and doesn’t run much, so he'll need help from his supporting cast and coach Sean Payton just to have value in two-QB leagues if he ends up starting.

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
Still in play to start
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com believes Stidham still has a realistic chance to be Denver's Week 1 starter, even though the Broncos drafted Bo Nix 12th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Rosenthal believes Nix will ultimately earn the starting job, but it's worth noting that coach Sean Payton targeted Stidham as a free agent in the 2023 offseason and ultimately had Stidham start two games down the stretch in 2023. Stidham climbed to the top of the depth chart after Denver parted ways with Russell Wilson earlier in the offseason, but the Broncos subsequently added two younger quarterbacks with higher ceilings in Nix and Zach Wilson.

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.
