Brian Hoyer

Week 10 vs. Miami Dolphins

Brian Hoyer threw three touchdowns in relief of Jacoby Brissett last week, nearly leading the Colts to a victory if not for a missed field goal at the end of the game. Brissett is questionable with a knee sprain heading into a great matchup against the Dolphins, making both players a question mark. Should Brissett sit, Hoyer has some streaming upside in a week full of byes against the fourth-worst team in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. In general, however, fantasy owners should look for a more stable streaming option if possible.

Week 5 at Indianapolis Colts

Brian Hoyer threw for 234 yards last week against Arizona but also threw an interception and failed to throw a touchdown pass. Given that he's not going to add a lot running the ball, that's not nearly enough to make Hoyer a solid fantasy play. Hoyer has been a viable fantasy player in just one game this season. Even though Indianapolis has given up at least 295 yards passing in three of its four games, Hoyer is not a good start this week despite the matchup.

Week 3 vs. L.A. Rams

Brian Hoyer threw for just 99 yards against a tough Seattle defense and failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second consecutive week. That's not good. This week he faces a Rams defense that actually might be tougher to deal with. The Rams have given up 179 yards passing in each of their first two games and only 1 touchdown pass. Hoyer doesn't have a lot to work with and, on a short week, this is a tough matchup. He should not be in your lineup.
