Joe Milton Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth QB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB57 last season at 3.1 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
The arm talent shows up in the data, but the sample is microscopic. Across four Dallas appearances in 2025, Milton threw for 183 yards on 24 attempts with a 62.5% completion rate, one touchdown against two picks, and a -0.05 EPA per play paired with a 44.8% success rate. His 26.1% bad-throw rate flagged the rough edges, though a 1.6 CPOE and five carries for 50 rushing yards hinted at a higher ceiling. The 2024 New England tape was the dream: 22-of-29 for 241 yards, a 92.6% on-target rate, 17.1 CPOE, and 19.2 fantasy points in one start.
That upside collides with reality in Dallas. Milton is locked in a QB2 fight with Sam Howell behind a healthy Dak Prescott, leaving no clear path to snaps. With an overall ADP near 383 and QB54 positioning, he's a pure deep-dynasty stash, not a 2026 fantasy asset.
