Who Should I Start? Sean Clifford or Joe Milton III

Saturday, January 11, 2:21 PM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Sean Clifford to the active roster before their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Clifford will serve as the team's emergency third quarterback as both Jordan Love (elbow) and Malik Willis (thumb) battled injuries during the week. While both quarterbacks are off the injury report and do not carry a designation, Clifford would be eligible to enter the game if both quarterbacks were to face a setback during Sunday's contest. Clifford only attempted one pass in his professional career and completed it for 37 yards during the 2023 season. DFS players should view Jordan Love as a low-end option in DFS as he will face a tough Philadelphia defense, the third-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.

The Dallas Cowboys are sending a fifth-round pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for quarterback Joe Milton III and a seventh-round pick, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Milton has been in trade rumors all offseason long and is headed to Dallas to back up Dak Prescott now that Cooper Rush is with the Baltimore Ravens. Milton, a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, flashed in his limited opportunity with New England as a rookie. In Week 18, the 25-year-old connected on 22 of his 29 passing attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. He added 10 rushing yards and a score on the ground. While Milton still does not have a clear path to a starting role, he could be one of the top quarterbacks to stash in deep two-QB or Superflex leagues. Prescott has missed at least five games in three of his nine NFL seasons. Milton is arguably one of the most talented signal-callers in the NFL, but touch and accuracy have been a concern for the rocket-armed QB.
