Who Should I Start? Dresser Winn or Joe Milton III

Sunday, August 25, 9:15 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn could make the initial 53-man roster as the No. 3 option on the depth chart, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. A product of the CFL, Winn is on his second stint with the Rams and played the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale, completing nine passes for 72 yards and adding another 20 yards on the ground. Rapoport indicates that the Rams could roster three quarterbacks, and with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended to start the year, Winn is on track to make the team behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett. If he does make the roster, Winn would likely be inactive on gameday as the Rams' emergency third quarterback.

New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III completed 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 241 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also rushed 10 times for 16 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. Milton didn't take a sack or throw an interception in the victory, but he did lose a fumble on a botched hand-off with Antonio Gibson. The Patriots needed a loss to secure the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and in order to get some extra film on Milton, they benched Drake Maye after the opening drive. Milton performed better than anyone could have imagined, completing each of his first 11 pass attempts. He totaled two touchdowns and showed phenomenal mobility. The win dropped New England from No. 1 to No. 4 in the draft order, but that's arguably a fair price to pay in exchange for the assurance that New England has two talented, young playmakers in its quarterback room entering 2025. Maye will remain the starter while Milton is likely headed for the backup role.
