2023 Fantasy Outlook
A sixth-round pick of the 49ers in 2016, Driskel has made 11 starts for four different teams since then, including two for the Texans last year. In seven games overall in 2022, he totaled 108 yards and a touchdown on 14-for-20 passing, 20 carries for 75 yards and a four-yard catch. Now with the Cardinals, Driskel is situated behind Kyler Murray (who is recovering from a torn ACL), Colt McCoy, rookie Clayton Tune and David Blough on the QB depth chart. Read Past Outlooks
Serving as No. 3 QB
Driskel (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Despite offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt's comments Wednesday about Driskel serving as the Browns' top backup in their wild-card matchup, he'll be the team's emergency third QB. PJ Walker is active and will backup Joe Flacco on Saturday.

Driskel's deal with the Texans contains a $1 million base salary with numerous potential bonuses and incentives. Given the murky situation surrounding Deshaun Watson's future with the team, Driskel's landing spot is more intriguing for fantasy purposes than if he had been brought in to compete for a backup gig elsewhere. Beyond Watson, Driskel will vie for depth-chart slotting with veteran Tyrod Taylor and rookie third-round pick Davis Mills.
