Matt Leinart
QB FA
Matt Leinart will be the Texans' starting quarterback in Week 12 against the Jaguars and possibly beyond.
Matt Schaub is out indefinitely after suffering a foot injury on a QB sneak in the second quarter of Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. Leinart has undoubtedly been a bust since being drafted with the 10th overall pick in 2006, but he has at least shown the capability of keeping receivers like Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin involved and productive. We wouldn't downgrade Andre Johnson much for the stretch run. Still, expect the Texans to remain extremely run heavy when they come out of their Week 11 bye. Leinart should be added in two-QB leagues. He will very much struggle to be a worthwhile standard league fantasy option with a limited skill set and a run-first offense around him.
