Milroe’s triple-option package delivered a costly fumble, underscoring his developmental gap and suggesting Seattle should pare back the gimmick runs in favor of conventional progression.

Jalen Milroe is the draft pick linked to the Geno Smith trade; Week 1 did not feature him in live action, but his presence looms as a future factor in Seattle’s QB room and dynasty considerations.

Milroe's activation signals a concrete plan to deploy speed in Seattle's offense, with gadget and sprint-attack looks in red-zone and short-yardage scenarios. If he earns early touches, his fantasy ceiling rises through designed runs and quick hitters, creating mismatch opportunities against SF. His week-one role could establish a high-variance, high-ceiling path for the Seahawks' offense.

Milroe’s dual-threat upside anchors his long-term fantasy appeal. In Seattle, his path to starter reps hinges on development and injuries; he’s a keeper-worthy talent in dynasty, with sporadic redraft value if he earns a late-season roll.

Milroe brings a dynamic rushing floor and elite athleticism to Seattle as a backup QB with tantalizing ceiling. His ceiling hinges on growth in accuracy, but his rushing TD potential creates a solid fantasy floor and a genuine top-end upside in dynasty, especially in Superflex.
