Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin may get his first NFL start this Sunday in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor, but the 23-year-old will have a tough task ahead of him -- his opponent, the Houston Texans, have allowed the fewest passing yards per game (167) in the NFL.
The tiny sliver of hope here is that the Texans, despite the low yardage total, have given up 15 passing touchdowns this season. And while the Texans have allowed 17.8 Fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, they've allowed an average of 21 over the last four, driven by nine quarterback touchdowns in that span.
McGloin, a former walk-on at Penn State, holds the school record for career touchdown passes, single-season passing yards, and single-season completions. So while he has considerable skill, his Week 11 matchup is tough enough to keep him on the waiver wire in most formats.
