Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle relays Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer's teammate, Ryan Mallett, has been told that he will start Sunday's game against the Panthers.
The report echoes NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's previous report noting that the Texans are preparing to start Mallett this weekend. While such an outcome has not been confirmed by the Texans, Hoyer is nonetheless one to avoid in Week 2 Fantasy lineups.
