2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries have limited Milano to a mere nine regular-season appearances over the last two years, making his 2022 All-Pro campaign feel like a distant memory. Now heading into his age-31 campaign with one year remaining on his deal with Buffalo, Milano essentially finds himself in 'prove-it' territory. He remains a lock for a starting role in the Bills' linebacker corps as long as he remains healthy, but given his recent trajectory, it's possible Milano never again approaches a 100-tackle season.

Signed a two-year, $28 million contract with the Bills in March of 2023.
Starts week with limited practice
Milano (pectoral) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Milano was injured in Week 2 and has missed the Bills' last two contests, but a limited practice to start the week would suggest Milano is nearing a return to game action.

Milano, who was a first-team All-Pro just two seasons ago, has a degree of upside as a fantasy asset and has proven his value as a steady NFL defender for seven seasons now. As he approached his age-30 campaign, the 2017-third-rounder was returning from a leg injury that limited his effectiveness in 2023. Unfortunately 6-0, 223-pounder sustained another injury in August (torn biceps) that will sideline him indefinitely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Beane optimistic about '25
Bills general manager Brandon Beane stated at the NFL Combine that he was optimistic about Milano's 2025 outlook, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Milano has played in only nine regular-season games since the 2022 campaign due to an assortment of serious injuries. However, the 2017 fifth-round pick went into the offseason healthy and riding some momentum, as he was able to record 33 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across four regular-season games and three postseason contests following his Week 13 season debut in 2024. "We expect Matt back at this point," Beane said. "I'm excited that he's healthy and not having to have a surgery or a rehab situation."
