Davis Mills Fantasy Overview

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is "uncertain" for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stroud remained sidelined in practice all week, still experiencing concussion symptoms, and was ruled out for today's game on Thursday. We'll track his progress this coming week but are tentatively expecting QB Davis Mills to start against Buffalo.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans, HC Demeco Ryans said Thursday. Stroud is struggling to make it back from his second documented concussion. We'll see if he can get cleared for Week 12's meeting with the Bills. QB Davis Mills makes his second straight start this weekend. He was good enough in last week's comeback win over the Jaguars, but his fantasy score was boosted by 45 pass attempts. Don't expect nearly that much volume on Sunday with the Texans 6-point favorites against the Titans. Mills is just a low-end QB2 this week, but WR Nico Collins can safely stay in fantasy lineups.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Insider Aaron Wilson confirms that Stroud is still experiencing concussion symptoms and that QB Davis Mills is on track to make his second straight start. Mills tallied a 292-2-1 passing line last week, but it came on 45 attempts in a comeback win over the Jaguars. He completed just 60% of his passes at 6.5 yards per attempt. Mills gets another plus matchup vs. the Titans this weekend, but he's highly unlikely to throw it anywhere close to 45 times. He's just a low-end QB2. Mills targeted WR Nico Collins on 33% of his passes last week, though, so Collins should remain in fantasy lineups as a low-end WR1.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) won't play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, HC Demeco Ryans said. Stroud didn't practice on Wednesday as he works through the protocol. He should have a good chance to make it back for Week 11, but it'll be QB Davis Mills under center for Houston against the Jaguars on Sunday. Mills completed just 57% of his passes at 4.6 yards per attempt in relief of Stroud last week, although that came against a tough Broncos defense. He was better in 26 starts across 2021 and 2022, posting a 63.6% completion rate and 6.6 yards per attempt. Mills is certainly a downgrade for the Texans offense, but at least WR Nico Collins should remain in fantasy lineups against a bad Jaguars secondary.
