Starting quarterback Ryan Mallet was benched after the Texans fell behind 42-0. Hoyer stepped in and went 17-for-30 for 232 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact
Although Hoyer was more efficient, it is likely that Mallett will still be the Texans starting quarterback going forward. Keep in mind Hoyer was facing the Falcons second team defence so this result was to be expected. Hoyer has no fantasy relevance going forward.
