Jeff Driskel Fantasy

The Houston Texans are re-signing quarterback Jeff Driskel and will give him a shot at quarterback again after trying him at tight end. Driskel will return on a one-year deal for the 2022 season. The 28-year-old finished last year on Injured Reserve after fracturing his collarbone in December. In four NFL seasons, Driskel has played in 16 games (nine starts) and has thrown for 2,120 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions with the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos. Davis Mills was impressive in his rookie season when forced into the starting role due to an injury to Tyrod Taylor. The Texans are expected to trade Deshaun Watson this offseason and will likely bring in more help at the position. Driskel is well off the fantasy radar.

Houston Texans quarterback Jeff Driskel is making the transition to tight end, and tight ends coach Andy Bischoff called him "a rare athlete." The 28-year-old was drafted in the sixth round in 2016 by the San Francisco 49ers, and he's spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos in three seasons in the NFL. Driskel has attempted 345 passes and thrown for 2,120 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 15 career games (nine starts), with his most recent action coming last year in three games with Denver. The Texans are desperate for production at the tight end spot between Jordan Akins and Pharaoh Brown, but we doubt Driskel will factor into the picture anytime soon on game days.

With Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) placed on Injured Reserve and expected to miss three to four weeks, the team promoted quarterback Jeff Driskel to the active roster from the practice squad, according to a source. Rookie Davis Mills will make his first career start on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, and the Texans needed another QB on roster. Deshaun Watson is expected to remain inactive all season due to pending lawsuits regarding sexual assault. Driskel has only nine NFL starts with three different teams in three NFL seasons. Houston's entire offense could struggle mightily in Week 3 against a drastically improved Panthers defensive unit.
