Jalen Milroe - 2025 Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Sleepers and Values

Jalen Milroe - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks

Jalen Milroe is a fantasy football sleeper and value in 2025 fantasy football rookie drafts. Read the fantasy football outlook for the new Seahawks quarterback

DRAFT PICK: 3rd Round (#92 Overall Pick)

TEAM: Seattle Seahawks

ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: The former Alabama quarterback was a polarizing prospect in the lead-up to the NFL Draft. Milroe displayed big-time athleticism and play-making ability on the ground. He ran for over 1,200 rushing yards and scored 32 rushing touchdowns in the last two seasons as the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

That kind of rushing upside gives him the highest fantasy football ceiling among all the quarterbacks in this class.


Quarterbacks who score points on the ground have long been fantasy football cheat codes. More and more of the top fantasy quarterbacks are built in this mold. This makes Milroe such a tantalizing pick for dynasty gamers, particularly those who play in superflex leagues.

However, a major area of concern for Milroe is his accuracy and ability to play from the pocket. He struggled with accuracy during his collegiate career, and this caused him to fall to the third round of the NFL Draft. It’s worth pointing out, though, that concerns regarding his passing may have been overblown.

If Richardson hadn’t gone down the road he’s currently on, Milroe would have been viewed more favorably by NFL teams. Either way, he fell in the draft for these concerns, but landed in an interesting situation when the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the third round.

Seattle signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract this offseason. While that seems like a strong commitment, the specifics of the contract say otherwise. Seattle has an out in Darnold’s contract following the 2025 season. If his play in 2025 resembles anything close to what we saw in the final two games of 2024, it’s very possible he won’t get another year as the starter.

That’s where things could get interesting with Milroe. In the weeks following the NFL Draft, the Seahawks have discussed his intangibles and work ethic. They have also signaled they are committed to developing him as a passer. Milroe is already doing his part and has reportedly begun improving his mechanics.

It’s also possible Seattle struggles to begin the 2025 season and decides to give Milroe an extended look as a starter to see if they need to draft a quarterback from the loaded 2026 class. Given his rushing upside, Milroe should immediately return fantasy results in this scenario, and it could also present a good sell-high opportunity for dynasty gamers who wish to cash out.

Drafting Milroe carries risk, but he’s certainly worth a selection at the top of the third round in superflex rookie drafts. You get all the upside of an Anthony Richardson-type prospect but carry nowhere near the risk, given Milroe's cost in drafts. The hit rate for picks in this area of rookie drafts is extremely low. Why not swing for the fences and take a chance on Milroe?
