Who Should I Start? Malik Willis or Jalen Milroe

Thursday, January 9, 5:51 PM

Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis (thumb) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Jordan Love (elbow) was also limited on Wednesday and a full-go on Thursday, so both signal-callers should be ready to roll for the wild-card playoff game on Sunday in Philadelphia against the Eagles. Willis is dealing with a right-thumb injury that he apparently picked up on Sunday when he came on in relief of Love in the loss to the division-rival Chicago Bears in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The 25-year-old made two starts earlier this year when Love was sidelined with an injury and has appeared in seven games total, going 40-for-54 for 550 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Willis has been serviceable in limited duty for the Packers but won't carry any fantasy value into the postseason with Love looking good to go.

When asked if rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe could be used in a Taysom Hill-type role, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Milroe "is a quarterback through and through." Sam Darnold will play most of the snaps in 2025, but Milroe will have an opportunity to earn a unique role in certain situations. General manager John Schneider said that Seattle "added an explosive weapon while (Milroe) develops as a quarterback." "He's going to be trained to play quarterback for us. When he's in there, he's going to be playing quarterback. But the athleticism is going to come to life when he's on the field," Macdonald said. The 6-foot-1, 216-pounder has game-changing speed and a big arm, but he needs to develop as an accurate passer with anticipation at all three levels of the field. Milroe's dynamic athleticism will make him an intriguing dynasty/keeper pick, but he should be ignored in redraft leagues.
