HOU QB Brian Hoyer - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Tennessee
After falling way behind to the Dolphins last week, Brian Hoyer got to throw on pretty much every down and rewarded fantasy owners with a good statistical game. He finished 23-of-49 for 273 yards with three TDs and one INT. Surprisingly, it was Nate Washington and not DeAndre Hopkins who benefitted from all of the passes. In the past three contests, Brian is averaging 292 yards and has thrown eight touchdowns versus two interceptions. The Titans defense is No. 2 against the pass, but with Arian Foster out, look for the Houston offense to rely more on Hoyer and the aerial attack.

HOU QB Brian Hoyer - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Miami
Now he’s the Texans starting QB, Brian Hoyer has turned into a more than just a serviceable fantasy option. In the win at Jacksonville last week, he threw for 293 yards and three TDs. Two of his touchdowns went to DeAndre Hopkins, who is on pace for a record-setting season. In the past three contests, Hoyer has thrown for seven scores with just one INT. As long as defenses keep allowing big things from Hopkins, Hoyer makes for a decent fantasy start, especially against a Dolphins defense allowing nearly 380 yards per game.

HOU QB Brian Hoyer - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Jacksonville
After replacing Ryan Mallett in the loss to the Colts last Thursday, Brian Hoyer posted some impressive numbers. He finished 24-of-31 for 312 yards and two TDs, including the Hail Mary to Jaelen Strong right before halftime. Unfortunately, it was his interception in the final two minutes that cost the Texans a chance to send the game into OT. In the past two weeks, Hoyer has relieved Mallett and thrown for 544 yards and four touchdowns. His first stint as the team's starting QB lasted only three quarters, but Hoyer has been playing well as of late. Jacksonville’s defense has allowed 260 passing yards per game, so if you’re in need of a QB, Hoyer is a player who is likely available on the waiver wire.

HOU QB Brian Hoyer - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Carolina
In his first game in a Texan uniform, Brian Hoyer was mostly ineffective, going 18-for-34 for 236 yards with one TD and one INT. While DeAndre Hopkins took the blame for not turning in on the pick, Hoyer was also sacked four times, losing a fumble on one of them. He was benched for Ryan Mallett in the second half and will start this week as the No. 2 QB.

HOU QB Brian Hoyer - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Kansas City
After winning the starting QB job, Brian Hoyer will make his regular season debut in Houston. Despite pretty much being run out of Cleveland, Hoyer is coming off of a season in which he played in 14 games and led the Browns to a 7-7 record during those contests. He also threw for over 3,300 yards with 12 TDs and 13 INTs. Hoyer had three 300-yard games, but was held to under 200 yards in four of the final six games he started. Without Arian Foster, the Texans need Hoyer and his top target DeAndre Hopkins to have a big game, but there are much better starting fantasy QB options.

HOU QB Brian Hoyer - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Brian Hoyer came out on top in the Texans' QB competition as he was named the starter over Ryan Mallett heading into the team's third preseason game. As NFL.com suggested, Hoyer was the safe choice. Head coach Bill O'Brien apparently believes the 29-year-old can run his offense without making mistakes and making the call before that all-important third exhibition game gives Hoyer a chance to get up to speed in the preseason game that most mirrors regular-season action.

Fantasy Downside
Running the offense without mistakes seems like an optimistic view. Again, as NFL.com put it, "Hoyer put up one of the worst streaks we've seen from a starting quarterback down the stretch last season -- at one point throwing eight interceptions in a four-game stretch."

Bottom Line
While he doesn’t have a great arm and was among the league's worst QBs at points last season, Hoyer will provide HC Bill O’Brien and the Texans' offense with an experienced, veteran signal-caller to open the season. Should fantasy owners expect anything beyond that? No. He's a streaming or cheap DFS candidate on given weeks, at best. Owners shouldn't be surprised if he gives way to the stronger-armed Mallett at some point

CLE QB Brian Hoyer - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Brian Hoyer vs. Indianapolis Colts
Week 13 was not kind to Brian Hoyer. The Browns were soundly beaten by Buffalo, in part because Hoyer threw two interceptions. Plus, Hoyer was benched in favor of Johnny “Football” Manziel. With Cleveland still in the midst of the playoff face, Hoyer is getting another start, much to the chagrin of many wanting to see Manziel ascend to the top spot. However, Hoyer has not been playing well and could easily be benched again. His fantasy value, never strong to begin with, has hit rock bottom.
