Who Should I Start? Hendon Hooker or Joe Milton III

Saturday, August 9, 8:53 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker had a rough outing in his team's second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night. Hooker completed seven of ten pass attempts for just 38 yards and lost two fumbles. The third-year quarterback got the start after playing behind veteran Kyle Allen in the Lions' first preseason game, but Hooker was pulled in the middle of the second quarter against the Falcons. Hooker and Allen are competing for the backup quarterback job in Detroit behind Jared Goff. The competition has been open throughout training camp, but Hooker may have fallen behind Allen with his poor showing on Friday night.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III is expected to see a heavy workload during Saturday's second preseason contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Milton was pulled early during their first contest due to an elbow issue. Before exiting, Milton completed 17-of-29 passing attempts for 143 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Los Angeles Rams. It seems like Milton is the favorite to backup Dak Prescott, but he'll still have to compete with Will Grier. Regardless of who wins, neither quarterback is going to offer fantasy value with Prescott healthy. Milton might be worth a stash in dynasty leagues, but he doesn't have a clear path to playing time.
