Deshaun Watson, Tom Savage to compete for starting job

Houston Texans beat writer Sarah Barshop believes Deshaun Watson and Tom Savage will compete for the team's starting quarterback job this offseason. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Barshop adds that of Houston's rookies, Watson is "the only one who will really challenge for the starting job and could have an immediate impact." Although Savage is currently deemed the team's starting signal caller, per head coach Bill O'Brien, Watson will have an opportunity to compete for the spot atop the quarterback depth chart. However, it would be a surprise if he beats out Savage, especially since the Texans have the pieces in place to contend for a championship in 2017. If Savage should struggle, I'd expect the Texans to make a move to Watson sooner rather than later.
