2025 Fantasy Outlook
A third-round pick in April, Milroe won’t challenge new Seahawks QB Sam Darnold for the starting job (not yet, anyway), but he could get a few snaps per game in packages designed to exploit his elite athleticism and rushing ability. This isn’t Taysom Hill 2.0, though. The team views him as a quarterback, not simply a gadget player. Milroe has plenty of standout traits -- exceptional arm strength, size (6-2, 217), smarts (Academic Heisman) and tremendous speed. He was clocked at 22.5 mph on a TD run last year -- faster than any run in the NFL in 2024 -- and set an Alabama QB record with 20 rushing scores. Milroe’s accuracy is the issue, as he often had poor ball placement on routine throws. On the other hand, he threw 10 TDs and no interceptions last season on passes 20-plus yards downfield. The only QB with a better TD:INT ratio on such throws was No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward (12:0). Milroe may not get playing time early on apart from gadget plays, but he's athletic enough to provide fantasy value if he eventually makes starts. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a four-year contract with the Seahawks in May of 2025.
Will play entire preseason finale
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Milroe will start and play the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale on the road against Green Bay, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athleticreports.
ANALYSIS
Milroe played the entire second half of Seattle's preseason opener and entered the team's second exhibition tilt late in the third quarter, taking the field after Drew Lock on both occasions, but the rookie third-rounder will now get a sizeable opportunity to showcase his talents under center. While Milroe may need a longer developmental period before truly challenging Lock's status as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Sam Darnold, he could contribute early in his career via designed runs in offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
QB3 during OTAs
Milroe has worked mostly with the third-string unit during OTAs, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks took Milroe in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would spend his rookie season adjusting to the pro level while learning behind Sam Darnold. With Darnold and Drew Lock getting the bulk of reps with the starters, Milroe has mostly worked with the backups and players looking to earn a depth spot on the 53-man roster. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Milroe will have the opportunity to earn regular snaps and that the Alabama quarterback will be used as a dual-threat quarterback when on the field during preseason play, per Dugar.
