Should I Start Drew Lock?

Wednesday, November 11, 10:40 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) is expected to start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Mike Macdonald plans to give Jalen Milroe some first-team reps and manage Lock's throws much as he did last week when Lock had elbow tendinitis, according to Gregg Bell. Seattle listed Lock as limited all three days last week, beginning with Wednesday's walkthrough estimate. Lock said Thursday was his only throwing session in practice before he started in place of Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs), whom Macdonald described as week-to-week on Monday. Lock played through the oblique injury in the 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown without an interception. He went 13-for-18 for 110 yards on throws released in under 2.5 seconds, including his touchdown to AJ Barner. The quick passing game helped Seattle avoid a sack, and running back Jadarian Price led the team with 54 receiving yards on four catches. If Lock starts, he's a QB2 option in Superflex leagues against a Las Vegas defense that has allowed 20 passing touchdowns through Week 9.
