Texans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick breaks leg; backup QB Tom Savage injures knee
Could Thad Lewis be the Texans' starting quarterback in Week 16. That's a legitimate question after what happened Sunday in Indianapolis. Starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick lasted a little more than a quarter before breaking his left leg. He was carted to the locker room, and his season is obviously over.Fourth-round rookie Tom Savage replaced Fitzpatrick and completed 10 of his 19 passes for 127 yards and an interception. However, he took a shot to his right knee late in the 17-10 defeat and will undergo an MRI on Monday. If he needs to miss any time, Lewis, who was inactive for today's game, would likely start in Week 16 versus Baltimore. He is the only fully healthy quarterback on Houston's roster at the moment.
Savage's numbers don't begin to show you how poorly he played. He completely botched a couple of simple handoffs to Arian Foster and looked generally overwhelmed. Although he gets a pass considering his lack of practice reps. He connected with DeAndre Hopkins three times for 53 yards. But against the Ravens' attacking D, this offense and all of its parts are in trouble next week, no matter who is under center. Downgrade all of your Texans for fantasy championship week.
