Brian Hoyer named Texans starting QB

Brian Hoyer has been named the Houston Texans starting quarterback, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

Fantasy Impact: 

Both QBs really struggled in their last preseason game with the Broncos. Mallett got the start, going 5-of-7 passing for just 23 yards on two drives. Despite boasting a strong arm, not once in his seven passes did Mallett even look to throw deep, an NFL.com article said.
Hoyer entered the game and didn't fare any better, going 7-of-11 for 52 yards. He did try to look deep but failed to connect. Hoyer does have a WR1 in DeAndre Hopkins and could have QB2 or streaming value to fantasy owners. He's said to be a much better fit than Mallett in Bill O'Brien's offense.
