Fantasy Impact
The 41-year old journeyman QB was on the Eagles' practice squad while living in Texas with his family. McCown is now afforded an opportunity to back-up star QB Deshaun Watson, who continues to face pressure due to a struggling offensive line that has already given up 22 sacks this season. McCown's 18 years in the league will allow the Texans to enjoy a competent insurance policy to Watson.
