2023 Fantasy Outlook
After agreeing to another one-year deal worth under $1 million, Sudfeld returned to Detroit to compete for a backup role. The Lions ended up signing Teddy Bridgewater in August, and Sudfeld tore his ACL in a preseason game not long thereafter. Sudfeld will hope to return in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Knee - ACL
March 27, 2024
Sudfeld (knee) re-signed with the Lions on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sudfeld missed all of last year after suffering a torn ACL in a preseason game against the Panthers. The 30-year-old operated as the team's backup quarterback to Jared Goff in 2022, and was competing with Teddy Bridgewater for that role last season before his injury. If he can make the Lions roster in 2024, he'll likely be the No. 3 option with Hendon Hooker behind Goff.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to open as Detroit's QB2
QBDetroit Lions
June 25, 2023
Sudfeld is likely to open the season as Detroit's primary backup quarterback behind Jared Goff, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Lions also have rookie third-round pick Hendon Hooker in addition to Goff and Sudfeld, but Hooker is recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions have already stated they intend to use this season as a redshirt year for Hooker, so Sudfeld could maintain the No. 2 spot even after Hooker comes back. If Hooker is placed on the non-football injury list, he wouldn't take up a roster spot to begin the year and would need to sit out at least the first four games of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
2016
With Nick Foles having taken his talents to Jacksonville, Sudfeld now slots in behind Carson Wentz on the Eagles' QB depth chart. The 2016 sixth-rounder will face competition on that front from Cody Kessler, and whoever locks down the No. 2 role is a player of interest, considering the injury history of Wentz.
Sudfeld is expected to serve as Philadelphia's third-string quarterback this season behind Carson Wentz and Nick Foles. The second-year backup's only game action last season came in Week 17 after the team had the No. 1 seed in the NFC in the bag, and barring catastrophe, that remains the most likely scenario for the 24-year-old to see the field in 2018.
A sixth round draft pick in 2016, Sudfeld will once again being competing to make Washington’s 53-man roster. He’ll have to prove he’s worth the extra depth, as the Redskins seem content with Colt McCoy serving as the No. 2 man - given the three-year extension he signed this offseason. Should Sudfeld stick around, chances are slim that he takes the field during the regular season.
Drafted in the sixth round, Sudfeld is a big quarterback at 6-foot-6 with a strong arm. He showed potential with stretches of accuracy on the deep ball and pocket awareness but overall struggled with consistency. He is definitely a project, but there's no immediate pressure to deliver results. He'll be the third quarterback or on the practice squad to start the season, with the aim of eventually pushing Colt McCoy for backup duties behind Kirk Cousins the ultimate goal.
