Davis Mills - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoHouston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills has been solid since taking over for Tyrod Taylor a few weeks ago. Mills has managed a passer rating of 86.2 in 2021, which puts him between Taylor Heinicke and Baker Mayfield. Furthermore, Mills has produced passer ratings of 93.2, 92.2 and 130.6 over the last three weeks, showcasing his improvement since the beginning of the year. In Week 17, Mills will face a 49ers pass defense that ranks 20th in DVOA, while their run defense ranks second. The Texans best way to move the ball will be through the air, and Mills has proven to be capable. Furthermore, the Texans are double-digit underdogs, so they will likely be forced to the air. Mills has proven himself as a borderline starting quarterback, No. 1 receiver Brandin Cooks will be back, and the matchup sets up well. Mills is a solid QB2 this week, considering all of those factors.
