2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stick was mediocre at best after taking over in Week 14 last year after Justin Herbert was lost for the season. He finished with a 6.9 average target depth and 6.5 YPA with all three of his TD passes coming in his first start -- a 63-21 loss at the Raiders. He returns this season to back up Herbert again, though he will do so with an unimpressive group of receivers, and with new coach Jim Harbaugh and new running backs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, the Chargers are likely to be more run-heavy this season anyway. Stick’s mobility gives him a bit of upside (nearly 30 rushing yards per game last season), but if Herbert goes down again, the Chargers likely won’t ask Stick to do much. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
One of three QBs active
Stick is active along with Taylor Heinicke as options at quarterback behind starter Justin Herbert (ankle) in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Herbert didn't take any first-team reps during Week 3 prep while nursing a high-ankle sprain, managing just one limited practice Wednesday through Friday. Despite the lack of practice activity, Herbert convinced the coaching and training staffs that he is able to start after completing a pregame warmup. Herbert should take every snap Sunday so long as the game is competitive and he doesn't suffer a setback with the ankle, but Stick might be first in line to get reps if Herbert should exit the contest. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Stick would have been first in line to start Week 3 if Herbert couldn't, though the coach backed off that stance a bit by Friday, telling Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site that he has "a lot of faith" in both Stick and Heinicke being capable of stepping in for Herbert, if necessary.

Stick signed a modest one-year, $1.8 million deal this offseason presumably to back up Justin Herbert after spending his first couple of campaigns as the team's third-string option. As a result, the 2019 fifth-round pick has played just two regular-season snaps thus far in his NFL career, but he does have some notable positive traits, including a level of mobility that make him a dual-threat signal-caller. Now that Chase Daniel is no longer on the roster, expect Stick and 2023 rookie Max Duggan to compete for the top backup spot behind the Chargers' Pro Bowler.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely next man up if Herbert sits
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Easton Stick would likely start over Taylor Heinicke in Week 3 against the Steelers if Justin Herbert is forced to sit out due to an ankle injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herbert suffered the ankle injury Week 2 against the Panthers, and though he never missed a snap and X-rays conducted Monday came back negative, the talented quarterback missed Wednesday's practice. Harbaugh said Wednesday that he still felt Herbert was more likely than not to play against Pittsburgh, but he acknowledged he would likely go with Stick over Heinicke if matters changed.
