2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mills made six appearances last season as the No. 2 QB, but when C.J. Stroud missed Weeks 15 and 16, third-stringer Case Keenum started for the Texans. Keenum is still around, so Mills likely will have to win the backup job in training camp. That doesn’t seem like a tall order, considering Keenum is 36 and has even less mobility than 25-year-old Mills. Mills started 26 games in 2021-22 for the Texans, but Houston has a much improved roster from those bleak times, and if Mills finds the field he will have an excellent group of skill players to target. He doesn’t have elite arm strength, but he fared well throwing deep when he was the starter a couple seasons ago. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Mops up in loss
Mills completed his lone attempt for five yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.
ANALYSIS
Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled without two of the team's top receivers, Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee). Add in a struggling ground game -- Joe Mixon was held to under 30 yards for the third time in the last five games -- and the Texans were clearly the inferior team Christmas Day. Mills entered for the final series to essentially run out the clock. Houston already clinched a spot in the postseason, so there is a possibility Mills leads the team in the final game of the regular season, but head coach DeMeco Ryans struck a different tone following the loss. "I think you come back fired up and showing that's not who we are," Ryans told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. "At the end of the day that's not who we are." The Texans finish up the regular season at Tennessee, which embarrassed Houston at home in Week 12.

2022
2021
It wasn't easy being Davis Mills (or any Texan) the last two seasons. The 2021 third-round draft pick was given an opportunity most mid-round quarterbacks don't get, but it wasn't an ideal situation. All the blemishes of Mills' game showed -- inconsistency, decision making, red zone-futility -- all while operating an offense with minimal threats under two consecutive one-and-done head coaches. For the first time since Bill O'Brien's final season in Houston, the organization is looking forward instead of treading water. Second-overall pick C.J. Stroud is the expected starter, and if either Mills or veteran Case Keenum are playing much this season, things have gone wrong.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could benefit from trade
Mills is a Texans player that could be best served by a trade this offseason, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bien-Aime points out the Texans haven't given any indication they plan to move Mills, but the team beat writer makes a case for why that could be best for the young quarterback's career. To begin with, salary wouldn't be an inhibiting factor in a potential trade given Mills is still on his rookie deal. Additionally, Mills already boasts 34 games of NFL regular-season experience, but he has no path to playing time in Houston barring injuries to C.J. Stroud and seemingly preferred backup Case Keenum.
