Houston Texans DFS Spin
Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said the team would continue rotating quarterbacks in Week 16. Hamilton said Jeff Driskel would continue subbing in for starter Davis Mills in some situations, as he’s done for the past couple games. Hamilton said the QB rotation keeps defenses off balance. “We hope it will limit the potential looks we will see,” he said. Driskel, after playing half the team’s offensive snaps in Week 14, only played 29 percent of the snaps in Week 15, rushing four times for eight yards while throwing four passes for another eight yards. Driskel, who is tight end eligible in Yahoo! leagues, is a better streaming option than most tight ends thanks to his red zone rushing role.
Tennessee Titans DFS Spin
Malik Willis will start Tennessee’s Week 16 game against the Texans. Ryan Tannehill re-injured his ankle in Week 15 and was formally ruled out on Thursday. Longtime Titans beat reporter Paul Kuharsky has reported Tannehill will not return this season, likely making Willis the starter for the final three games as the Titans cling to their AFC South odds. Willis has not appeared ready as a passer, to put it mildly, but he will hopefully get to put his dual-threat to use against the Texans’ No. 32 run defense. He’s worth a desperation superflex gander.
