Easton Stick, QB LAC - Dad Wanted a Hockey Player (1 Viewer)

[LawFitz]

Who is he and what do/should we know for Superflex and 2QB playoff desperados?

 

[Insein]

Was looking at him today. 5th year in the league. Never started. Almost never played. Before last week had thrown only 1 pass in the NFL. Seems like a recipe for disaster to rely on him.

Hey ya hoser. Easton makes hockey sticks don’t ya know.

Quick review of 2018 college highlights gives off a Sam Howell vibe. Kid is a legit dual threat, which as we all know is a cheat code for QB fantasy points.

Starting him over Mahomes in my main league.

Just kidding.

Or am I?

Watch this guy become this year's fantasy playoffs hero. Crazier **** had happened. That's for sure.

If by “fantasy playoff hero” you mean throwing three pick sixes against the Broncos Defense (my waiver wire claim this week) in week 17, then I fully endorse this statement.

This guy is going to be a league winner! Since joining the league 5 years ago, he has NEVER thrown an interception!

Pop Fisher: You know my mama wanted me to be a farmer.
Roy Hobbs: My dad wanted me to be a baseball player.
Pop Fisher: Well you're better than any player I ever had. And you're the best G*d damn hitter I ever saw.

People hated the Hollywood ending, but that was the only way you could end that treasure of a film. Perhaps I'm showing my bad taste, but I love The Natural. A great, redemptive arc instead of the original noir-ish one.

Let's hope Stick is not a hockey fever dream, but rather a wide receiver concept that Los Angeles wants to run.

Sounds like 2 minutes for high Stick-ing.

It's between "The Natural", "Miracle", and "Hoosiers" as my favorite sports movie of all-time. When Hobbs hits the game winning HR and hits the lights, and him circling the bases with that great music by Randy Newman playing, it sends goose bumps down my back. By the way, I loved the ending. It was appropriate.

Odds suggests Stick will struggle...but there's a reason this kid has stuck on the roster for years. I have a feeling there may be some magic here.

Narrator: There was in fact no magic in this stick.

257 & 3 TDs ain’t too bad.

257 & 3 TDs ain’t too bad.

Two fumbles lost, including one strip sack for a TD and a pick six as well sort of throw cold water on those stats.

63-21 is not good.

Of course, it's not all on the quarterback, but they didn't move the ball at all until it was 42-0.

 

[LawFitz]

Garbage time (2 QB) king maker so far. Gonna be hard to trust the next couple weekends tho.

 

[-OZ-]

Is it too much to ask to see Max Dugan?

Oh, there was magic for the raiders.

23.54 points from Stick last night in one of my leagues. If I was hurting for a QB this week like many are, I'm pretty certain most desperate folks would sign up for that.

Yes, good for both sides when you add in the opposing defense.

Ah - I'm more talking about Stick's ability to produce fantasy points as opposed to arguing that Stick is a good real life NFL QB.

Be honest though, did this look like a possible outcome after 3 quarters? That production is all from the Raiders backing off. Yes it all counts but he was awful.

I thought once the Raiders got up 42-0 that the Chargers would score at least twice. I figured the final score would be about 56-14 or something like that. It was entirely within the range of possibilities at that point, actually.

I don't think Easton Stick is a starting caliber NFL QB. I do think that he offers intriguing fantasy upside to owners who have lost Burrow/Herber/Cousins/Richardson etc. I'm a JMU grad, so I followed Stick at NDSU and know he's a far better athlete than most of the backups in the league. If I'm GIff Smith, I tell Kellen Moore to completely unleash Stick's ability to run the football over the last 3 weeks since they really have nothing to lose.
