Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Jalen Milroe

Monday, October 6, 9:40 AM

The New Orleans Saints' Swiss-Army Knife and "do it all man" Taysom Hill suited up on Sunday for the first time in 2025 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 13 of 2024. He served as the backup quarterback behind starter Spencer Rattler, while also fulfilling his regular role as a gadget player. He stepped in and completed his only pass for 19 yards, and had six carries for negative one yard, good for 0.66 fantasy points. Hill has always been a bit of a boom-or-bust option in the fantasy community. Still, if he were to step in for any serious time at quarterback, or continue to see six to 10 carries a game, he could easily provide TE1 fantasy production; however, there will be weeks like this, where it's close to a goose egg. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can roster him and see how things play out over the next few weeks.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe entered the game in Week 5 against the Buccaneers for a speed option play, but he tossed it just a tad behind running back Kenneth Walker, leading to a fumble. It was an unfortunate result for the rookie from Alabama, as it wasn't the best play design, and it's not the easiest ask for him to come off the bench cold and be ready for the speed of NFL defenses. It was a costly fumble for Seattle, as they were driving in Tampa Bay territory and ultimately lost by a field goal. It's possible that this, combined with how well Sam Darnold has done, leads to fewer of these plays moving forward. Milroe is still a very good asset to own in dynasty, but he won't be an option in redraft, barring injury.
