The Denver Broncos have decided to bench quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the last two games of the season. This move is seen as a way for the Broncos to maintain financial flexibility and avoid guaranteeing an additional $37 million to Wilson if he fails a physical in March. While Stidham is expected to be a passing downgrade, wide receiver Courtland Sutton's injury opens up opportunities for Jerry Jeudy as the primary target in Week 17.
