Stetson Bennett

28-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Los Angeles Rams
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bennett, a 2023 fourth-round pick, did not see game action in 2025 while serving as Los Angeles’ emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo. With Garoppolo unsigned and considering retirement, an opportunity is there for Bennett to compete for the primary backup role, though he now faces fresh competition from rookie first-round pick Ty Simpson. Simpson is widely viewed as the Rams’ long-term successor to the 38-year-old Stafford, which clouds Bennett’s path to meaningful upside within the organization. Unless he clearly outperforms Simpson in the battle for the No. 2 job, Bennett’s long-term outlook on the roster remains uncertain. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.54 million contract with the Rams in June of 2023.
Doesn't play in preseason finale
QBLos Angeles Rams
August 27, 2026
Bennett didn't play in the Rams' 20-18 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 fourth-round pick got an extensive audition in Saturday's preseason win over the Saints, throwing for 181 yards and rushing for two touchdowns. Head coach Sean McVay wanted to give Bennett's competition for the No. 2 quarterback role, rookie first-round pick Ty Simpson, his own extended look Thursday, and Bennett therefore got the night off. The job battle between the two is reportedly still unsettled, and Simpson's strong play Thursday (129 total yards, one pass TD) likely makes McVay's imminent decision that much harder.

2023
For the second straight season, Bennett failed to record a snap on offense, bouncing between backup and emergency quarterback throughout the season. The Rams didn't add additional arms through the draft or free agency, leaving Bennett and Jimmy Garoppolo (who re-signed with the Rams on a one-year deal) as the only quarterbacks on the roster. The 27-year-old hasn't shown enough to really threaten a leap up the depth chart, however, and likely will spend the season as an insurance policy once again.
The 2023 fourth-round pick didn't suit up for a single game in his rookie campaign, suffering a shoulder injury before spending the remainder of the season on the reserve/non-football illness list with what turned out to be a case of burnout. The Rams picked up veteran Jimmy Garoppolo on a one-year deal to serve as a backup with Bennett's status unclear, and the two will likely compete for the primary backup role to incumbent Matthew Stafford. The 26-year-old Bennett may have one key edge in that battle, as Garoppolo will be suspended for the first two games of the season, and during the Rams' OTAs the former has shown flashes of the talent that helped him lead Georgia to two national titles.
The Rams saw enough in Bennett to spend a fourth-round pick on the 25-year-old quarterback in April. A two-time national champion with a winning pedigree - 29-3 as a starter at Georgia - he boasts great reliability, good awareness in the pocket and the ability to limit turnovers (66:21 TD:INT), but he also starts his NFL career on the higher end in terms of age. He also doesn't have plus physical attributes, with a small 5-11, 190-pound frame, and will be an understudy to Matthew Stafford for at least the next few seasons barring retirement or a trade. Bennett and recent signee Brett Rypien will compete for the backup role, but significant snaps in 2023 for Bennett are unlikely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be QB2 for divisional round
QBLos Angeles Rams
January 16, 2026
Jimmy Garoppolo is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Bears due to a back injury, and if he's unable to play, then Bennett would be slated to serve as the Rams' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford.
ANALYSIS
Garoppolo popped up on Thursday's injury report after a back injury flared up and was kept out of the final two practices of the week as a precaution, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Bennett has served as the emergency third quarterback for the entire 2025 campaign and has not appeared in a regular-season game since being selected by the Rams in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. However, in the event that Garoppolo doesn't play, Bennett would be thrust into the QB2 role behind Stafford for Sunday's playoff bout.
