  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Mills could return to backup quarterback duties if C.J. Stroud (concussion) continues to progress ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. Mills quarterbacked the Texans through three consecutive wins, putting the team back into the postseason conversation, but a cleared Stroud will resume his role as the starter, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud was a full participant for a second consecutive practice Thursday, improving his chances to come out of the NFL's concussion protocol. The consecutive practices followed by clearance from an independent neurologist is required for Stroud to be officially cleared to play.

• Texans' Davis Mills: Ticketed for third straight start

  Head coach DeMeco Ryans said that Mills will serve as the Texans' starting quarterback for Thursday's game against the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Though C.J. Stroud is in line to practice in some fashion Tuesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in the Texans' Nov. 2 loss to the Broncos, he's not on track to clear the five-step protocol before Thursday. As a result, Mills will direct the Houston offense once again after he completed 53 of 86 passes for 566 yards, three touchdowns and one interception to go along with five carries for 34 yards and another score in wins over the Jaguars and Titans the past two weeks. Stroud could be in position to reclaim starting duties in the Texans' Week 13 game against the Colts.

• Texans' Davis Mills: Week 12 Waiver Priority List

  21D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Mills has scored at least 18.4 Fantasy points in two starts for C.J. Stroud (concussion), and Mills could start again for the Texans in Week 12 against Buffalo on Thursday night. It's not an easy matchup against the Bills, who are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, but Mills can still be useful in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in deeper formats. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB in those formats.

• Texans' Davis Mills: Solid showing in second start

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Mills completed 26 of 41 passes for 274 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 14 yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday. Mills put together another solid performance in his second start in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion) despite being subjected to plenty of pressure from what had been a porous Titans defense. Mills was taken down four times, but he also completed passes to eight different players while displaying good command of the offense. Mills capped the afternoon in fine fashion by leading a game-winning nine-play, 48-yard drive, and he's likely to draw another start in a Week 12 Thursday night home matchup against the Bills since Stroud may not be ready to play due to the short turnaround.
