Last time we saw QB Drew Lock starting for the Seahawks came in Week 2 at Arizona. He went 19-of-26 passing for 235 yards and 3 TDs in that contest. The rematch turned out quite different. Lock completed 19 of his 28 throws in Sunday's win over the Cardinals -- a solid 67.9% -- but amassed just 175 yards and 1 TD. That's 6.3 yards per attempt vs. the 9.0 of Week 2. The big difference? Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for an 82-yard TD early in the first meeting. His long play in the rematch consumed just 18 yards. Lock found TE AJ Barner from 7 yards out for his only score.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock suffered an oblique injury during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, HC Mike Macdonald said afterward. Macdonald added that he's not sure at this point if Lock and/or QB Sam Darnold (quad, rib) will be ready for next Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. If neither guy can go, Seattle would be down to QB Jalen Milroe, a 2025 third-rounder who's yet to attempt a regular-season pass. We'll keep you updated on this situation. The Seahawks at least get a Week 11 bye to get their QBs healthy.

The Seahawks selected Alabama QB Jalen Milroe with the 92nd pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Milroe’s fantasy profile starts with his elite rushing ability. He ran for 806 yards and 12 TDs in 2023 and 879 yards and 20 TDs this past season. His 12 rushing scores of 10+ yards last year were the most by a QB in the last 25 years, according to The Athletic’s Dane Brugler. Milroe is a well-built 6’2, 217-pounder and clocked an unofficial 4.37-second 40 time at his Pro Day. His athleticism will certainly translate to the next level and give him exciting fantasy upside whenever he’s on the field. The question is whether his passing ability will be enough to get him on the field. Milroe has plus arm strength but shoddy accuracy and poor touch on shorter throws. He’ll also need to improve his pre- and post-snap processing. Milroe’s 72.6% adjusted completion rate last year ranked 53rd among 128 qualifying QBs. The good news is that scouts praise Milroe’s attitude and work ethic, so don’t put it past him to improve enough as a passer to develop into an NFL starter.
