News and Notes

Nov 3
QB Matt Schaub continues to play well and lead the league with 2,342 passing yards. He'll be playing without one of his favorite targets, TE Owen Daniels (40 catches), who is out for the year. Schaub spreads the ball to his receivers, tight ends and backs. He still throws too many interceptions. He has seven, including four that were his fault. He's no threat when he's running, but he's sliding well to avoid sacks. He's also throwing the ball away rather than trying to force it into traffic. |

Schaub was 25 for 34 for 268 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over Buffalo, but it turned into a bad fantasy line with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Advice: This was surprising after Schaub had thrown 16 touchdowns in the previous six games, but Ryan Moats scored three times on the ground to account for most of the Texans' points. Schaub could be slowed by the loss of tight end Owen Daniels for the season to a knee injury, but he also could be throwing the ball often if Houston falls behind at unbeaten Indianapolis on Sunday. |

Schaub's opponent this week, the Bills, have held four of their last five opponents under 200 passing yards, and three of those teams were held under 100. Recommendation: Three of those teams have weak passing attacks, but if you want a good comparison for a strong passer like Schaub, note that Buffalo held Drew Brees to 156 passing yards. Part of that is because the Bills are so easy to run against. Now, Houston has a very strong passing attack and Andre Johnson is expected to play, so we're not advocating sitting Schaub. But you may need to curtail those expectations a bit for a week. |
