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.
Sees work in garbage time
Milton completed three of five passes for 41 yards and an interception in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The second-year QB saw his first regular-season action with the Cowboys, handling the final drive in the fourth quarter and guiding the team down the field into the red zone for a potential score until he overthrew KaVontae Turpin in the end zone for an INT. Milton will only come off the bench in garbage time unless something happens to Dak Prescott, but if he were to get a start, his big arm and mobility could give him some fantasy appeal even if his lack of polish would make him extremely volatile.

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.
