Kenny Pickett Logs Full Practice on Wednesday

Thursday, September 4, 9:39 AM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett (hamstring) logged a full practice on Wednesday and is cleared to suit up in Week 1 when the Raiders face the New England Patriots. Pickett began the offseason with the Cleveland Browns but was traded to the Raiders in exchange for a fifth-round pick. The former first-round pick has been dealing with a hamstring injury, but appears to have moved past it. Fantasy managers should expect Pickett to operate as the backup option to Geno Smith. Currently, Aidan O'Connell (wrist) is on the injured reserve, which means Pickett will likely be given all of those opportunities under center if Smith were to miss time. Last season, Pickett spent time as Jalen Hurts' backup in Philadelphia but was deployed as a starter across his first two seasons in Pittsburgh. He is only worth a look in deeper superflex leagues if he were to take over the starting job.

Jalen Milroe Served as Emergency QB in Week 2

Wednesday, September 17, 10:57 AM

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe served as the team's emergency quarterback in the 31-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Sam Darnold locked in as the starter and Drew Lock currently operating as QB2, Milroe has opened his career as the third-string option and has only seen the field as a change-of-pace option. The 2025 third-round pick brings an element of explosiveness that neither Darnold nor Lock can match, with elite rushing ability that could eventually add a unique wrinkle to Seattle's offense. For now, the organization's priority is letting Milroe develop behind the veterans, with the hope that he can leapfrog Lock on the depth chart later this season. Until he earns meaningful snaps, Milroe remains off the fantasy radar.
