Davis Mills Fantasy

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills struggled mightily in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts. Mills managed to throw for 243 yards, his second-highest total of the season, though he fired two interceptions and averaged a measly 5.7 yards per attempt. It was a significant step back for the rookie from his three-touchdown performance last week against New England, as he looked more like the turnover-prone signal-caller who threw four interceptions in one game two weeks ago. Mills gets a tough test next week against a Cardinals team that ranks third in pass DVOA.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills gets a good matchup against the Colts in Week 6. Mills showcased just how boom-or-bust his fantasy profile is over the last two weeks, throwing four interceptions against the Bills in Week 4, then following it up with an impressive, 312-yard, three-touchdown day against the Patriots. The rookie hadn't exceeded 200 passing yards or one score in any game before going off in Week 5, so it's tough to trust him for fantasy purposes in Week 6. Still, the matchup with Indianapolis, who has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, is an excellent one. The Texans, 10-point-underdogs, could be forced to rely on Mills' arm more often in Week 6. He could be a viable streamer.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 21 of 29 passes for 313 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions in a loss to the Patriots. Coming off of a terrible, four-interception game, Mills authored the best start of his young career against a tough Patriots defense, firing scores to three different receivers, while averaging an impressive 10.8 yards per attempt. The rookie has shown fantasy managers the lowest of lows and highest of highs through three starts but should at least be on the radar in 2QB formats after this performance against a Patriots pass defense that was among the league's best heading into the week. Mills could be worth streaming next week against a Colts defense that ranks 26th in pass DVOA this season.
