Brian Hoyer Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Brian Hoyer has bounced around to a number of teams in his career. In the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) left the game. In relief of him, Hoyer finished 17 of 26 for 168 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Brissett is expected to have an MCL sprain, but the severity remains unknown. The Colts play the Miami Dolphins next week, so if Hoyer has to play, he could have some streaming value in two-quarterback leagues.

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer has been released by the team. The veteran quarterback has been with the team the past two seasons as backup for Tom Brady. But rookie signal-caller Jarrett Stidham has looked impressive in the preseason and apparently has done enough to earn the backup job. Hoyer has never thrown a regular season touchdown in a Patriots uniform but should have plenty of suitors over the next week. Teams like the Packers (who just released their backup) or Colts could certainly use the services of a solid, yet unspectacular, player like Hoyer.

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer completed 12-of-14 passes for 147 yards and two touchdown passes in the Patriots 31-3 preseason win over the Lions. The Patriots was sharp out of the chute, delivering two second-half touchdowns to ice the game. If Hoyer sees the field this season, then the entire Patriots offense will be in fantasy flux. But the capable veteran can still move the chains and will see plenty more exhibition snaps.
