Jarrett Stidham Faces An Uphill Battle In First Career Start
2 years agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham will make his first career start on Sunday in place of Derek Carr, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. The fourth-year pro has seen action in 11 regular season games over his career, totaling 342 passing yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions to go along with a 53% completion percentage. Stidham has a tough matchup against the 49ers in Week 17, the eighth-toughest matchup for opposing fantasy QBs this season. The 49ers have not given up more than 17 fantasy points to an opposing QB since Patrick Mahomes in Week 7, and Stidham is unlikely to buck that trend this week. Stidham is a QB3 this week. Avoid him if you can.
