Davis Mills
QB - Houston Texans
2024 Outlook
Availability
Davis Mills completed 12 of his 22 passes for 128 yards and added 11 yards on three carries in a 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Mills took over for starter C.J. Stroud after the Texans' first offensive possession of the game. The veteran quarterback has one year remaning on his contract and is likely to be back as the backup to Stroud in 2025.
The Texans and QB Davis Mills have agreed to a contract extension through the 2025 season worth $5 million per year in new money.
Fantasy Impact
The Texans seem to be fond of backup QB Davis Mills, as he will enter the 2024 season as the QB2 for C.J. Stroud.
Davis Mills completed 15-of-32 passes for 149 yards with two touchdowns in the Texans' 36-22 loss against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Mills took over under center early in fourth quarter with Houston trailing 36-7. He led a pair of touchdown drives in garbage time. The Texans' will hope to get C.J. Stroud (concussion) back under center next week.
Davis Mills will be the backup quarterback for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Fantasy Impact
Mills has been the backup to C.J. Stroud (concussion) all season long to this point. With Stroud out, Mills was understandably expected to draw the start under center in Week 15. However, head coach DeMeco Ryans has decided to go with veteran Case Keenum instead.
Davis Mills is expected to start Sunday's game against the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
With C.J. Stroud (concussion) yet to be cleared for practice this week, Mills is in line to lead the Texans' offense in Week 15. Mills has played very little this season, completing just 3 of 7 passes for 24 yards while appearing in three games. However, he made 26 starts over the past two years for the Texans, so a lack of experience is not really a factor for the third-year pro. That said, Mills is nowhere near as talented as Stroud, so downgrade expectations for all Houston pass catchers.
