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.

Produces two TDs in pro debut
Milton completed 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown while adding 16 rushing yards and a TD on 10 carries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
With nothing on the line for either team, Drake Maye played the first series before exiting the game and handing the offense over to Milton, who was making his NFL debut. The 2024 sixth-round pick looked good, albeit against a Buffalo defense resting a lot of key personnel, and he ran in a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter before connecting with Kayshon Boutte (head) on a 48-yard score in the second after Milton flashed some impressive elusiveness against the Bills' pass rush. While there are still questions about whether Milton's throwing mechanics and accuracy issues will allow him to succeed in the NFL, his athleticism should keep him in New England as a backup to Maye in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working ahead of Zappe
Milton has been working ahead of Bailey Zappe to begin training camp, according to Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots know what they have in Zappe, a 2022 fourth-round draft pick with an underwhelming 11:12 touchdown-to-interception ratio in 14 appearances, including eight starts. Milton has demonstrated superior arm strength, and the 2024 sixth-round draft pick is getting a chance to leapfrog Zappe for the third spot on the depth chart. Milton is unlikely to surpass veteran Jacoby Brissett or fellow rookie Drake Maye -- whom New England drafted third overall -- for one of the top two spots.
