Brian Hoyer

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent quarterback Brian Hoyer to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to the team. Hoyer spent the last three seasons serving as a backup with the New England Patriots, but he'll now reunite with his former offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels, who is Vegas' head coach. The 37-year-old is entering his 15th NFL season and is more of a coach than a player at this point in his career. Hoyer had three stints with the Patriots and has completed 59.4 percent ...

The Houston Texans effectively used a two-quarterback system with Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel on Sunday and almost pulled off the biggest upset of the year in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. It was the first time the Texans played two QBs 30-plus snaps since they used Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet in tandem in 2015.

Mac Jones (ankle) is still banged up as well, so Bailey Zappe could be asked to start in Week 5. At this moment, it sounds like the Pats are leaning towards starting Zappe versus the Detroit Lions this week. That being said, fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Zappe for this upcoming week. [Read More]

The Green Bay Packers defense surrendered 18 points, recorded four sacks, forced one fumble, and recovered it during the team's 27-24 victory overtime victory over the New England Patriots. Six of the Patriots' 24 points came off a pick-six by Jack Jones. It was an overall disappointing performance from a Packers defense that faced not only backup quarterback Brian Hoyer but third-stringer Bailey Zappe, who stepped in for the injured Hoyer. Green Bay has had trouble generating turnovers so far ... [Read More]
