Texans' Davis Mills: Could be replaced Week 13
Davis 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 Houston 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: Two TD tosses in win
Davis Mills completed 16 of 30 passes for 153 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two carries for four yards in the Houston Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night.Mills' final line was far from fantasy-friendly, but the veteran backup was integral to the Texans' upset in what was his third straight start. Mills connected with Christian Kirk (two yards) and Jayden Higgins (eight yards) for his pair of second-quarter touchdowns, and he remained free of interceptions for a second consecutive start. Mills has led the Texans to a 3-0 mark while C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been sidelined, but the latter will return to the starting job in a Week 13 road matchup against the Colts if he's cleared to suit up.

Texans' Davis Mills: Ticketed for third straight start
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said that Davis Mills will serve as the Houston 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: Solid showing in second start
Davis Mills completed 26 of 41 passes for 274 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 14 yards in the Houston 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.

Texans' Davis Mills: Positioned as starter for Week 12
Davis Mills will start Sunday's road contest against the Titans with C.J. Stroud (concussion) having been ruled out Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Mills will draw at least one more start while Stroud works his way through the concussion protocol, and he could find himself in a similar position Week 12, when the Houston Texans will face a short week of preparation before taking on the Bills on Thursday Night Football. After compiling 312 total yards and three touchdowns during Houston's comeback win over the Jaguars in Week 12, Mills has made a case for himself as a fantasy option for QB-needy teams, especially in deeper formats.

Stroud still in concussion protocol and absent from Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.Stroud reportedly still has concussion symptoms as of Monday/Tuesday, and his continued absence from practice suggests he's still in the early phases of concussion protocol.

Texans' Davis Mills: Leads fourth-quarter comeback
Davis Mills completed 27 of 45 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars. He added 20 rushing yards and a TD on three carries.Making his first start of the season with C.J. Stroud (concussion) unavailable, Mills struggled through three quarters before coming to life in the fourth, hitting Jayden Higgins and Dalton Schultz for TDs before running in a 14-yard score of his own to complete a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Mills could return to the bench in Week 11 against the Titans if Stroud gets cleared to return, but if he gets a second start he likely won't need to be quite as busy.

Texans' Davis Mills: Set for Week 10 start
Davis Mills is slated to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars after Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday that C.J. Stroud (concussion) "will be out," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Mills entered Houston's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9 early in the second quarter in relief of Stroud. He finished with an unimpressive line, completing just 17 of 30 passes for 137 yards while rushing twice for seven yards. With Stroud in line to miss at least one more game while working to gain clearance from the concussion protocol, expect the Texans to lean on the strength of their defense and task Mills to hold down the fort as a game manager versus Jacksonville. Mills is on the fantasy radar only as a streamer in deeper formats that allow multiple quarterbacks to be started.

Texans' Davis Mills: Called on in relief Sunday
Davis Mills completed 17 of 30 passes for 137 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos. He added seven rushing yards on two carries.C.J. Stroud was knocked out of the game early in the second quarter and was diagnosed with a concussion, leaving the offense in the hands of Mills for the rest of the afternoon. The fifth-year quarterback led the Houston Texans to four scoring drives but wasn't able to get the ball into the end zone, and the lack of touchdowns proved costly in the end. If Stroud isn't able to clear concussion protocol in time to return in Week 10 against the Jaguars, Mills would get his first start of the season.
