Instant Fantasy Analysis - QB Davis Mills, Texans

Recommended Posts

Team Fit: Mills was the top-ranked quarterback recruit in the country in 2017 (ahead of Tua Tagovailoa), but his college career really never got on track due to multiple knee injuries. Thus, he enters the league after playing only 14 games in college (11 starts) and has not played more than eight games in any season. Surprisingly, he still does offer some mobility, but it's fair to say he isn't the same player who rushed for 23 scores in high school. Relative to how much he was actually on the field, the Atlanta native may have as much experience under center and working out in a traditional play-action passing attack as any Day 1 or Day 2 quarterback not named Trey Lance. Mills' addition is probably a necessary evil for a team that doesn't know where it stands with Deshaun Watson or what his future is.

What does it mean in redraft? Very little. Even if Watson is suspended for the season, Mills will almost certainly serve as Tyrod Taylor's backup. In that scenario, there's an outside shot he could see some snaps last in the season, but it wouldn’t be worth much.

Where should I expect him to go in my rookie drafts? Check back next week.
