Who Should I Start? Zach Wilson or Davis Mills

Sunday, October 26, 11:44 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson had been a healthy scratch for the first time last week, but his absence was short-lived as he returns to the backup role just one week later. While the former No. 3 pick will start the game on the bench, there's a chance that Wilson could see some playing time if Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle and is benched again. Last week, the starter threw three interceptions against the Browns, and now, he has an even tougher matchup against the Falcons. When Tagovailoa was benched last week, he was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who made his NFL debut along the way. Ewers completed five of eight passes for 53 yards, but he has been demoted. back to the inactives list in Week 8. The Texas product is a healthy scratch, serving as the emergency third quarterback.

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.
