	#13 T.J. Yates
		Pos: Quarterback NFL Team: HOU Injury: Probable Injury Type: left shoulder		Experience: 0 College: North Carolina Height: 76 Weight: 220 Born: 5/28/1987

Summary

Quarterback Rank: #44
Overall: #244

Yates was the surprise starter late in the season for the Texans. Both quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart went down with injuries, leaving Yates as the starter for the Texans. And Yates didn't perform too badly considering the circumstances. In six games, he completed 61 percent of his passes and had three touchdowns to three interceptions. He even had a 300-yard game. Yates is far from a polished product but proved he could start in this league. He'll have a chance to compete for the top backup job from day one this season. Yates moves around the pocket well and does a good job of making plays on the move. Yates is a pretty accurate quarterback that makes good decisions. He will struggle with throws downfield, though, and doesn't have an ideal arm for the pro game.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Yates wasn't a great fantasy play when starting but is a young player that will get better. He still isn't a guy to draft or really use if forced into a starting role but should perform better than last season if he finds his way into the lineup again.
