Who Should I Start? Drew Lock or Davis Mills

Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Drew Lock will split the reps in the team's first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Reporters are expecting the two quarterbacks to split half of the game on Thursday as the Seahawks will rest Sam Darnold, along with several other key starters. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is also expected to call several QB runs for Milroe when he's in the game against the Raiders, which makes the rookie an interesting choice for preseason DFS contests. Milroe and Lock are battling in training camp to be the backup to Darnold when the regular season opens. If he were to get on the field in 2025, Milroe would be very interesting from a fantasy perspective thanks to his elite rushing upside.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills came on in relief of C.J. Stroud, who left with a concussion, and completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 9's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills has only played in one other game this season, which came back in Houston's Week 5 blowout win against the Ravens, where he completed two of four pass attempts for 23 yards. Stroud's status will be updated throughout the week, but it's possible he misses a week after suffering a nasty blow to the head. Mills played decently against a strong Denver defense and has experience as a starter in the NFL. The 27-year-old last started a game in 2022, where he was the Texans' starter for 15 games. He completed 61% of his passes for 3.118 yards with 17 touchdowns and a league-leading 15 interceptions. Mills could be the Week 10 starter for a big divisional game against the Jaguars, but is only relevant as a waiver add in superflex and 2QB formats.
