2024 Fantasy Outlook
Milano, who was a first-team All Pro just two seasons ago, has undeniable upside as a fantasy asset and has proven his value as a steady NFL defender for seven seasons now. As he approaches his age-30 campaign, the 2017-third-rounder is returning from a leg injury that limited his effectiveness in 2023, but when healthy the 6-foot, 223-pounder will be poised to capably handle the Bills' weak-side linebacker duties.

RANKS
Recovering as scheduled
Milano (leg) is on schedule in his recovery from a fractured leg, Dan Fetes of 13WHAM reports.
ANALYSIS
Milano is still in recovery mode, and he likely won't participate in drills until closer to training camp, coach Sean McDermott indicated this week. However, as long as the linebacker stays on schedule, he should be ready to go when Week 1 of the 2024 campaign begins.

Milano is as steady as they come and still in his prime heading into his age-29 campaign. The 6-0, 223-pounder enters his seventh year with the Bills coming off a 2022 effort in which he recorded 99 tackles (72 solo), 1.5 sacks, 11 passes defended and three interceptions.
