Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Davis Mills

Saturday, August 23, 6:21 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (illness) won't play in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Buffalo Bills. The signal-caller appeared in one game this preseason, throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns off 6-for-11 passing in the meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bridgewater's absence should mean more work for Kyle Trask and rookie Connor Bazelak. However, as long as Baker Mayfield is healthy and on the field, the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart will remain mostly irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

The Houston Texans have signed quarterback Davis Mills to a one-year, $7 million extension, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Mills is now under contract with the team through the 2026 season. Houston drafted Mills in the third round of the 2021 draft, and he started 26 games for the team over his first two NFL seasons. He has not started a game since, serving as the team's third-string quarterback in 2023 behind C.J. Stroud and Case Keenum and the backup in 2024 behind Stroud, a role he is now likely to hold for 2025 and 2026. In 38 career games played, Mills has completed 62.6% of his passes and thrown 35 touchdowns. If Stroud were to get injured, Mills would profile as a fantasy QB3.
