QB Jarrett Stidham has been announced as the starter for Week 17 as the Raiders are set to host the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact: The announcement came on Wednesday that Derek Carr would be benched in favor of Stidham, who will now find himself in a daunting matchup against the NFC’s hottest team. Stidham is unlikely to find much success on Sunday, and his presence is a downgrade to the skill position players around him. Las Vegas will likely try to lean on their run game as much as possible- though it is probable, if not guaranteed, that they will find themselves playing catchup from the jump. Stidham could be set to close out the season under center for the Raiders to see if he has any future prospects as a starter while simultaneously vying for higher draft position.
