Davis Mills Fantasy Stats

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 16 of his 30 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. He didn't turn the ball over and managed his way to a third straight victory while starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Mills has proven to be a very competent backup over the last three weeks, leading a big comeback over Jacksonville, taking care of Tennessee, and now defeating the Bills in a game with big playoff implications for both teams. He'll be ready for another start next week on the road against the Colts, but there's also a chance that with the extra time off, Stroud will be able to return for next week's contest. Keep an eye on the injury report leading up to Week 13 to see if Mills will get another chance.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 16 of his 30 pass attempts for 153 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 12 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He also rushed for four yards and didn't take a sack. Mills has played quite well in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion), going 3-0 with six touchdowns and one turnover while getting the Texans above .500. Houston will likely turn back to Stroud if he clears concussion protocol ahead of Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, but Mills' efforts have been impressive nonetheless. Managers could trust him as a mid-to-low QB2 if he gets thrust back into the starting role later this season.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his third straight start for the Texans after helping his team past the Jaguars and Titans the last two weeks. He'll face the Bills on Thursday night, stepping in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), who is still not ready to return. Mills has put up solid numbers in both his wins, throwing for 292 passing yards against the Jaguars and 274 passing yards against the Titans. He has three passing touchdowns and a rushing score in those two contests, while attempting over 40 pass attempts in each game. He can be a fringe start in two-QB leagues or even a bye-week fill-in for deep leagues, but he does have a tough home matchup against the Bills, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. If Mills has to try and keep up with Josh Allen, he could be poised for another high-volume game, but his tough matchup keeps him as the QB22 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 12, meaning he isn't a great option in standard, single-QB leagues.

With starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) battling a concussion, Houston Texans backup QB Davis Mills has been pressed into action over the past two weeks. Stroud was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report ahead of Houston's Week 12 Thursday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which means Mills could be in line to make his third straight start against Buffalo. Mills has performed admirably in his two starts to this point, completing 61.6% of his pass attempts for 566 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception while leading Houston to two wins. Perhaps most importantly, he is averaging 43 pass attempts per game, which gives him plenty of chances to put up fantasy production. Mills has limited upside, but he could be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats leading into Week 12.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his second straight start for the team in Week 11 when they visit the Titans, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss a second straight contest. Last week, Mills led the team to a big comeback win in Week 10 over the Jaguars by running for the game-winning touchdown to go with his 20 rushing yards and throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Mills had to attempt 45 passes and connected on 60% of those passes, finishing with 27 completions. The Texans will hope for a very different game script this week, looking to play from ahead against the Titans. If they can do that, Mills shouldn't attempt nearly as many passes, limiting his ceiling. He's only the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he's a very shaky play since he should be in more of a game manager role this week.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is likely to start again as C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out of practice in concussion protocol. Mills was dynamic in the win over the Jaguars last week, completing 60% of his passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Dalton Schultz (11 targets) in the passing game. Head coach DeMeco Ryans clearly trusts Mills to make plays, which has been rewarded early. For teams in need of bye week help, Mills is an excellent option on the waiver wire heading into Week 11.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills led an improbable comeback on Sunday to help beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29 in Week 10, throwing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, and also rushing for 20 yards and another score. Mills was making his first start of the year with C.J. Stroud out with a concussion, and he didn't really do much until coming alive in the fourth quarter to lead the Texans all the way back. The 27-year-old's two touchdown passes went to rookie receiver Jayden Higgins and tight end Dalton Schultz. It was a spirited performance by Mills behind a suspect offensive line, but it could be short-lived if Stroud clears the league's concussion protocol to play in Week 11 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. If Mills does get another start, he'd still only be a low-end QB2 streaming option in superflex leagues and would be unlikely to repeat his Week 10 performance.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 27 of his 45 pass attempts for 292 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also tallied 20 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. The 27-year-old played quite well in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion), leading an impressive comeback and getting the Texans a win to keep their playoff aspirations in a realistic spot. Given the typical timeline for a concussion recovery, Stroud has a good chance to return against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11, sending Mills back to the bench.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will start in Week 10 against the Jaguars in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). The veteran backup has been with the Texans since 2021, but this will be his first start since 2022. He completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 passing yards last week against the Broncos, and he should have all his receivers available with Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Dalton Schultz all without injury designations coming into the weekend. Mills will likely be asked to manage the game while the team relies on the strength of its defense to carry it against the Jags. Mills is the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 10, though, so he's not a good fantasy option in his spot start.
