Texans Beat: QB Tom Savage gives team better chance to win

Dec 19, 2016

Though it was just a small sample size, Tom Savage showed Sunday that he gives the Texans a better chance than Brock Osweiler to win. At the very least, he earned the right to get another chance to play, this time with a full week to prepare as the team’s starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Savage replaced Osweiler and led the Texans to a come from behind victory. As the story pointed out, one area Osweiler has especially struggled in this season is throwing downfield. On passes thrown 15 yards or more downfield on Sunday, Osweiler was 0-for-2, with two interceptions. Savage was 4-for-8 for 89 yards, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Texans host the Bengals on Christmas Even night in the late game in Week 16.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
