QB CHI (5)
Keenum completed 25-of-35 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble.
It was a solid performance from Keenum, with a playoff berth on the line, but the Texans were eliminated from postseason contention when the Ravens defeated the Browns. He performed admirably over the final couple weeks of the season, after Ryan Fitzpatrick (leg) was lost for the year, but the young quarterback's status with Houston is up in the air for the 2015 campaign.

Keenum completed 20-of-42 passes for 185 yards and an interception, while adding 19 rushing yards on four carries during Sunday's win over the Ravens.
It was unclear until just before kickoff whether Keenum would start over Thad Lewis, but there he was taking the opening snap for the Texans and throwing a 35-yard pass to wideout Andre Johnson. Unfortunately, it wasn't an omen of things to come, as the Texans' lone passing touchdown was thrown by running back Arian Foster. Based on his performance, Keenum should get the start in Week 17 against the Jaguars, who are ranked 22nd against the pass this season, though he's a fairly limited fantasy option.

Keenum drew the start in Sunday's game against the Ravens.
As expected, though Keenum is only an option this week for those digging very deep at QB on Sunday, as we'd expect the Texans to feature a run-heavy attack against the Ravens on Sunday.

The Texans did not officially announce who will start at QB -- between Keenum and Thad Lewis -- on Sunday against the Ravens, the Houston Chronicle reports.
While the Texans have not confirmed Keenum as Sunday's starter, that's the expected outcome, though in such a scenario, he'd only be an option in the deepest of formats, as we'd expect the team to feature a run-heavy attack against the Ravens on Sunday.

Keenum is expected to start at QB for the Texans on Sunday against the Ravens, according to ESPN.com's Adam Caplan.
While such an outcome has yet to be confirmed by the Texans, the report suggests that the team appears to be leaning toward going with Keenum (who was re-signed by Houston off the St. Louis practice squad on Monday) over Thad Lewis on Sunday based on his overall knowledge of the team's offense gained from his previous stint with the team. Per NFL.com, coach Bill O'Brien doesn't seem inclined to tip his hand with regard to the team's Week 16 QB plans, but at this stage it looks like Keenum is on track to get the nod. Assuming that's the case, all things considered, Keenum is only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats this week.

Head coach Bill O'Brien said he's "pretty close" to making a decision as to whether Keenum or Thad Lewis will start this coming Sunday against Baltimore, the Texans' official site reports.
However, the coach is not ready to divulge which one will start. "I'm going to keep that one close to the vest," O'Brien said Wednesday. O'Brien added that both Keenum and Lewis will prepare to start "right up until game time," suggesting the identity of his start will not be revealed until Sunday.

The Texans have signed Keenum, the Houston Chronicle reports.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick out for the season and Tom Savage unavailable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, either Keenum or Thad Lewis will draw the start at QB for the Texans in Week 16. "We'll divide the reps (for QBs) as we go through the week," coach Bill O'Brien noted Monday. "We'll do a good job of taking a good look at both of them."

The Texans are expected to sign Keenum off the Rams' practice squad, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Keenum will be on the active roster for the final two weeks of the season. The decision to sign him comes on the heels of Ryan Fitzpatrick getting knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Colts with a leg injury, leaving Houston with rookie Tom Savage and backup Thad Lewis at quarterback. Keenum, who has history with the Texans, was with the team in training camp.

The Rams waived Keenum on Tuesday, NFL.com reports.
Keenum was released to open a roster spot for Mark Barron, who was acquired from the Buccaneers. Keenum did not appear in a game with the Rams, but he received eight starts with the Texans last season and still has practice squad eligibility remaining, so he will likely hook on with someone in the near future.

The Rams have claimed Keenum on waivers from the Texans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Per Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Keenam arrives in St. Louis as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, but in the wake of Sam Bradford's season-ending injury, the situation is fluid enough that it's conceivable once Keenum is up to speed with the Rams' offense, he could potentially enter the team's starting equation down the road.
