Case Keenum (arm) started the final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams but was injured during the contest. Keenum appeared to hurt his arm while following through on a throw. He completed four of eight passes for 32 yards. He narrowly avoided an interception on a misfire with wide receiver
John Metchie III, who was open, before being replaced by fourth-string quarterback
Tim Boyle. Boyle performed well, completing nine of 13 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown to fullback
Troy Hairston in the first half at NRG Stadium. Pro Bowl quarterback
C.J. Stroud did not play as he prepares for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 8.
Davis Mills has secured the backup role. With Keenum now waiting to see if he or Boyle will be chosen as the third-string quarterback, Keenum may have the edge given his quasi-coach role in Stroud's development.

Case Keenum has been confirmed as the Week 16 starter with
C.J. Stroud (concussion) unable to play, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Keenum drew the start over fellow backup
Davis Mills last weekend, and while that decision seemed somewhat surprising, it paid off. The veteran led the Texans to an overtime victory, completing 23 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. This week, he'll rank as a fantasy QB3 against the Cleveland Browns' strong defense.

Case Keenum is expected to start against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Starting quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol and is reportedly unlikely to play in Week 16. That puts Keenum in line to take on his former team at home in Houston. Keenum started in place of Stroud in Week 15 and completed 23 of his 36 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in an overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. Keenum will not be a recommended fantasy option heading into the semifinal round of the fantasy playoffs.

Case Keenum did just enough in the team's 19-16 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. Keenum filled in for the injured
C.J. Stroud (concussion) on Sunday and completed 23-of-36 passes for 229 yards and one touchdown with one interception. The veteran's lone touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when he connected with wide receiver
Noah Brown for a three-yard score to tie up the game. It remains to be seen if Stroud will clear concussion protocols before next week's game. If he can't, Keenum could be in line for another start against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16.
