Who Should I Start? Drew Lock or Tanner McKee

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.

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) was not spotted at practice on Sunday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP. McKee fractured his thumb earlier this month and has not practiced in roughly two weeks. The 25-year-old was solid while filling in last year, as he completed 30 of his 45 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With Thursday's regular-season opener fast approaching, it appears unlikely that McKee will be healthy enough to suit up. If he's inactive, Sam Howell would operate as the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.
