Jeff Driskel News
The Houston Texans plan to continue using both quarterbacks Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans on Christmas Eve on Saturday. Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said the two-QB system was initially an "experiment," but now it's a part of the offense to "create conflict" and to disrupt the opposing defense. "We hope it will limit the potential looks we will see," Hamilton said. It's worked, as the Texans have nearly defeated the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs in back-to-back weeks while employing the strategy on offense. Driskel has ceded most of the work to Mills under center, with Mills attempting 24 passes to Driskel's four attempts in Week 15. Neither signal-caller should be in fantasy lineups, even in two-QB leagues, this weekend against the Titans.
Houston Texans quarterback Jeff Driskel threw a passing touchdown and handled seven carries last week, and is again expected to split time under center with Davis Mills in a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Driskel is nowhere close to being on the fantasy radar as a quarterback, but he is certainly worth a look on platforms where he has eligibility as a tight end. The 29-year-old only has one career reception, but will likely record a fair amount of passing and rushing volume as he handled 50 percent of the Texans' snaps at QB last week. Deploying a quarterback at a skill position is a cheat code for fantasy football, especially in a great matchup against the Chiefs. He shouldn't be started ahead of any of the premier options, but Driskel can be viewed as a top-12 play at the tight end position.
Updating a previous report, the Houston Texans are expected to maintain their two-quarterback system of Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel going forward after having success in the Week 14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to league sources. Both Mills and Driskel saw 30-plus snaps in the narrow loss on Sunday, with Mills going 16-for-21 for 175 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Driskel, meanwhile, went 4-for-6 for 38 yards and one touchdown while adding seven carries for 36 yards. Mills should continue to see most of the pass attempts, while Driskel will run the team's read-option plays to try and confuse the Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 15. Neither QB will be recommended as a QB2 in superflex leagues moving forward.
