Stetson Bennett stole the spotlight in a Rams preseason clash, throwing for a career-high 324 yards and three touchdowns as Los Angeles stormed back to beat the Chargers 23-22. Bennett completed 28 of 40 passes and guided a late game-winning drive, finishing with an 8-yard TD to Tru Edwards with 10 seconds remaining.

The former Georgia star peppered the Chargers with accuracy, including a 38-yard strike to Mario Williams, and he calmly navigated two crucial fourth-down plays to keep drives alive. An earlier interception by TeRah Edwards briefly swung momentum, but Bennett answered with poise, underscoring a growing case for the Rams to consider him a serious backup option with Matthew Stafford still recovering.

With Stafford sidelined, Bennett’s preseason showing adds a fresh, high-leverage dimension to the Rams’ quarterback depth chart and harkens back to his late-2024 heroics against Dallas. Fantasy managers should note Bennett’s continued development and the potential for meaningful NFL action if Stafford’s return timeline remains uncertain.
