Drew Lock a QB2 in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 3:09 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (elbow, oblique) is a QB2 in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are No. 31 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy, but Lock is a bit too banged up to trust in fantasy right now. He was hobbling around the field in Week 9, and at one point, quarterback Jalen Milroe was warming up to replace him. Seattle figures to trust its defense and lean on an improving running game in Week 10 rather than rely on Lock's arm. Additionally, the Seahawks are facing quarterback Fernando Mendoza in his first NFL start. No matter how well or poorly Seattle's offense plays, it should not be forced to air it out at a high rate considering the Raiders could struggle to score themselves. Lock will likely be good for a stat line similar to Week 9, in which he threw for 175 yards and a touchdown, but he is not a high-end streamer this week.

Graham Mertz News

Graham Mertz Shines in Preseason Start

Monday, August 25, 6:32 AM

Houston Texans quarterback Graham Mertz got the start in the team's preseason finale in Detroit on Sunday, and the sixth-round rookie had a very strong showing while leading his team to a 26-7 win over the Lions. With starter C.J. Stroud and primary backup Davis Mills getting the day off, Mertz completed 14 of his 16 pass attempts for an efficient 145 passing yards. He threw a touchdown to Quintez Cephus and led three scoring drives before halftime. He also added 20 rushing yards on two carries. Mertz played ahead of Kedon Slovis, who was on the Texans' practice squad last year and took over for the second half of Saturday's win. Mertz likely secured the third spot on the quarterback depth chart with his strong showing, while Slovis could be headed back to the practice squad.
