Jarrett Stidham Over Achieves In First Career Start
2 years agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham impressed in his first career start against the San Francisco 49ers, completing 23 of 34 passes for 365 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, adding 34 yards on the ground to finish with a 108.1 QB rating during the team's 37-34 overtime loss. Stidham showed poise and a great command of the offense for the majority of the game, passing for more yards on Sunday than former starter QB Derek Carr did in any previous game this season. Stidham's first start was not without flaws, though, which included an overtime interception that set the 49ers up in the red zone for a game-winning field goal. Stidham will look to improve on his impressive first performance next week against the Kansas City Chiefs, who rank as the third-easiest matchup for opposing fantasy QBs this year. Consider Stidham a mid-range streaming option in Week 18.
