Fantasy Impact
HC Sean Payton noted Stidham's 'experience' as the reason he will be starting in the team's preseason opener. Stidham (28) is the oldest QB on the roster, with Bo Nix (24) and Zach Wilson (25) set to be taking snaps after him.
The Broncos are listing Jarrett Stidham as the starter on their initial depth chart.
Fantasy Impact
Rookie Bo Nix was interestingly listed as the third string quarterback. This is only the initial depth chart so it doesn't mean everything, but it is still notable and likely means Nix will have to perform better the next few weeks to to earn the starting role to open the season. Nix should see plenty of action throughout the preseason.
