Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Jalen Milroe

Saturday, August 16, 2:10 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe got his first taste of NFL action on Thursday night as the Seahawks opened their preseason against the Raiders. Milroe came on in the second half after Drew Lock got the start. The rookie third-round pick from Alabama completed six of his 10 pass attempts for 61 yards and added 38 rushing yards on three carries. He led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that culminated in a rushing touchdown by Anthony Tyus III. That score put the Seahawks up 10 points, but the Raiders came back, and the game ended as a 23-23 tie at the end of regulation. While he was a little inconsistent, the rookie had an impressive 27-yard run, which was the longest of the game for any player. At this point, it looks like Milroe is firmly behind Lock and starter Sam Darnold on the depth chart, but he has enough dynamic upside to be worth monitoring his development to see when he'll have a chance to make an impact.
