News: 3 hours agoMilroe completed six of 10 passes for 61 yards while rushing three times for 38 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders.

Spin: Milroe played the entire second half after Drew Lock played the first half. The rookie third-round pick's muted passing performance in his NFL debut suggests he may not be ready to challenge Sam Darnold or Lock for one of the top two spots on the depth chart, though Milroe put his rushing ability on display with a 27-yard run in the fourth quarter. Milroe will likely see significant action against the Chiefs on Aug. 15 in Seattle's second preseason game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Milroe was selected by Seattle in the third round of April's draft. Last season, Milroe threw only 16 TDs in 13 games and his 3.45% INT rate was easily the worst in this class. Some of the latter can be traced to an aggressive game, as his career 10.2 aDOT tops this rookie class. Additionally, his career 79.6 QBR is second best in this class. There are accuracy concerns, but he has a good arm and terrific speed and agility, having posted elite rushing numbers last season (145-906-20). Milroe could eventually find his way to fantasy relevance, but he'll begin his career as a clear backup to Sam Darnold.
