AJ McCarron Fantasy

Houston Texans quarterback A.J. McCarron's spot start for Deshaun Watson in Week 17 didn't go Houston's way, but McCarron did have 39 rushing yards and a score in the contest. As a passer, the former Alabama signal caller was 21-for-36 for 225 yards with a pick. Watson will take back over as quarterback next week when the Texans host the Bills in what should be a defense-heavy first round playoff matchup.

Houston Texans quarterback A.J. McCarron is expected to start on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans are locked into playing on Wildcard Weekend no matter what happens in Week 17, so it looks like head coach Bill O'Brien is going to play it safe with his key players. McCarron's a solid NFL backup quarterback, but with Houston resting multiple offensive starters, there's not really enough here offensively to suggest that McCarron is worthy of fantasy consideration.

Houston Texans quarterback A.J. McCarron suffered a thumb injury during Houston's joint practice with the Green Bay Packers and will likely miss the preseason. McCarron's spot as Houston's backup quarterback this season is safe, but the injury does have preseason DFS implications, as Joe Webb will likely have to play extended snaps in Thursday's game. Houston only has three quarterbacks on their roster right now, so unless a move is made before Thursday night to add someone, expect a couple of series for Deshaun Watson followed by Joe Webb playing the rest of the game.
