2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 sixth-round pick of the Patriots, Milton started one game as a rookie and made a big impression Week 18 against the Bills. In need of an understudy with some upside, the Cowboys acquired Milton to back up Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games last season due to a torn hamstring. Prescott's injury history creates a plausible path to significant snaps for Milton in Dallas, but he still has to demonstrate his cannon of an arm has enough accuracy to be a reliable NFL quarterback.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.2 million contract with the Patriots in May of 2024.
Produces two TDs against Falcons
Milton completed 10 of 18 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown and added 33 rushing yards and a TD on four carries in Friday's 31-13 preseason win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
After two very shaky exhibition performances, Milton looked a little more polished Friday, producing Dallas' first points on a one-yard run in the first quarter and then ending his night with a 29-yard TD connection with Jalen Brooks in the third on a pass that required a little finesse to loft it over the defender. The Cowboys traded for Milton to be their new No. 2 quarterback behind Dak Prescott, and this showing may have done enough to reassure the team that the 2024 sixth-round pick is ready to handle the job.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and while the Tennessee is no immediate threat to the depth chart standing of either veteran Jacoby Brissett or fellow rookie Drake Maye, the 6-5, 246-pounder is an intriguing developmental QB thanks to his impressive arm strength.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not locked in as QB2?
Milton may not yet have the backup quarterback role sewn up after a pair of poor preseason showings, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Milton has thrown an interception in each of Dallas' first two preseason games while producing only 265 passing yards on 47 passes for an unimpressive average of 5.6 yards per attempt. The offseason trade acquisition has been getting second-team reps behind Dak Prescott in practice consistently, but Archer believes the team could benefit from giving Will Grier an opportunity to win the backup job over the athletic yet raw Milton.
