Sam Ehlinger Unlikely To Deliver In Week 18
2 years agoIndianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger will start in Week 18 against the Houston Texans. The second-year player from Texas was declared the starter after Nick Foles was ruled out due to a rib injury in Week 17 after getting sacked by New York Giants outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux. The sixth-round selection in the 2021 draft completed his first NFL touchdown pass when he found Michael Pittman Jr. for a six-yard score in last week's blowout loss. He also finished with a 64 percent completion percentage for 60 yards. While that throw could boost his confidence coming into their season finale, the Texans are sneaky good in pass defense. They surrender the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers at 27.51 points per game and the second-fewest to quarterbacks at 12.76. These numbers indicate there should be better options than Ehlinger for your fantasy lineups.
