- : Rookie Joe Fagnano to start Thursday night vs. Jaguars, Jesse Minter says (ESPN)
Start Joe Fagnano: he has been on the field this season, 78 percent of the snaps, and Joe Milton has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size312 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Milton, and the board ranks him 165th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Fagnano, and the board ranks him 227th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Joe Milton's market-based projection is 11.6 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 72nd highest figure of the 227 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Joe Fagnano is 8.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 14 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Joe Fagnano's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Joe Milton this season.
Through Week 8, Joe Fagnano has been on the field for 78 percent of BAL snaps, dropped back 25 times and thrown 4.3 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 9 of 25 dropbacks and scrambled 1 time.
In Week 8 against BUF he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 4 yards.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Joe Milton played 4 games and scored 12.3 PPR points, 3.1 a game, finishing QB57.
He threw for 183 yards on 24 attempts with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions, and ran for 50 yards and 0 touchdowns.
That came to 6.0 attempts a game at 7.6 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 2 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
What would change the answer
Joe Fagnano has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
