Tom Savage disappoints despite heavy workload in Texans' loss

Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage completed 19-of-44 passes for 219 yards and 1 touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

What It Means:

Savage made his first start since Week 1, while taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson. It was a largely forgettable day, as his only touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins didn't come until late in the fourth quarter. With Watson done for the season, Savage did little to prove that he is worthy of the starting job moving forward.

numberFire's models projected Savage for 13.7 FanDuel points and he finished with just 10.8 in Sunday's loss.
