Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Thursday, November 27, 12:30 PM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released third-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Thompson-Robinson was acquired via trade and a 5th-round pick in a deal that sent Kenny Pickett to the Browns in March. The Eagles traded for Sam Howell earlier on Sunday, and with fellow third-year quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) looking like one of the stars of this year's preseason, Thompson-Robinson became expendable. McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and his status for Week 1 is in doubt. The Eagles' backup quarterback job has been extremely fantasy relevant of late, with Pro Bowler Jalen Hurts missing late-season action in two of the past three seasons. With a plentitude of offensive weapons at their disposal, whoever can hold the job between McKee and Howell will be worth stashing in deep Superflex and dynasty leagues.
