Who Should I Start? Malik Willis or Jalen Milroe

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder) is "pretty sore" as a result of the shoulder injury he suffered during Green Bay's Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday night. Willis replaced Packers QB1 Jordan Love (concussion) after Love suffered a concussion that knocked him out of the game in the second quarter. Willis was able to finish the game, but it appears he's battling an injury that may put his status for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in doubt. Across 10 games (two starts) with the Packers since the start of the 2024 season, Willis has completed 76.5% of his pass attempts for 684 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He's also rushed for 201 yards and a score on 33 attempts. If neither Willis nor Love can play in Week 17, the Packers would likely be forced to elevate quarterback Clayton Tune from the practice squad to make the start against Baltimore.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe was a healthy inactive for Week 7's matchup against the Texans for the second consecutive game. Milroe had a designed carry each in Weeks 1 and 3, but then fumbled on his lone opportunity in Week 5's loss to Tampa Bay and has since settled into the QB3 role behind Drew Lock. It remains to be seen if the third-rounder out of Alabama will be active again at some point, with how well starter Sam Darnold has played. Milroe remains a solid stash in dynasty leagues.
