T.J. Yates Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Yates season is over as the Texans have reported that he tore his ACL in yesterday's win against the Colts. Brian Hoyer should be able to return to his starting role if he is able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol. If Hoyer can't go then it'll be Cowboys castoff Brandon Weeden who would likely get the nod. We'll update the Texans QB situation later this week as the situation becomes more clear.

The Texans have declared Brian Hoyer, suffering from a concussion, out for this weeks game against the Indianapolis Colts. T.J. Yates will get the start against a Colts team that is 6th worst in the league in QB DvP. He makes for an interesting GPP play at just $6,000 on FanDuel and $5,000 on DraftKings but is also a downgrade for the likes of DeAndre Hopkins, Nate Washington, and Cecil Shorts.

Hoyer suffered a concussion in last night's game and was continually taking hits as the Patriots defensive line completely dominated in the second half. The Texans offense had a ton of trouble moving the ball with any consistency and they weren't able to get the ball into the hands of DeAndre Hopkins with any regularity, although a few dropped passes from Nate Washington could have changed the outlook of the game. T.J. Yates will likely draw the start on Sunday in a huge divisional game against the Colts. Yates isn't a big step back from Hoyer, and it's possible that the Colts will be forced to counter with Charlie Whitehurst after Matt Hasselbeck was dinged up late in the game. Hopkins posted a 11-169-0 line against the Colts earlier this season and would be in a very nice spot to bounce back from Sunday night's dismal performance, although he'll likely have to contend with Vontae Davis for a good chunk of time. Hopkins is the only viable target in the Houston passing game in Week 15.
