Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Shedeur Sanders

Tuesday, November 4, 11:00 AM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills came on in relief of C.J. Stroud, who left with a concussion, and completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 9's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills has only played in one other game this season, which came back in Houston's Week 5 blowout win against the Ravens, where he completed two of four pass attempts for 23 yards. Stroud's status will be updated throughout the week, but it's possible he misses a week after suffering a nasty blow to the head. Mills played decently against a strong Denver defense and has experience as a starter in the NFL. The 27-year-old last started a game in 2022, where he was the Texans' starter for 15 games. He completed 61% of his passes for 3.118 yards with 17 touchdowns and a league-leading 15 interceptions. Mills could be the Week 10 starter for a big divisional game against the Jaguars, but is only relevant as a waiver add in superflex and 2QB formats.

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders (back) is still dealing with the back tightness that made him inactive for the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The Browns had a Week 9 bye, but as they begin preparation for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Sanders has not returned to practice, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. While the team won't need to file an official practice report until Wednesday, Stefanski did note that the situation was improving. Coming out of the bye with a 2-6 record, Stefanski has handed over play-calling duties to OC Tommy Rees, but as of now, that's the only change coming out of Cleveland. Dillon Gabriel remains the team's starting quarterback.
