2012 DRAFT GUIDE

		Pos: Quarterback NFL Team: HOU Injury: Probable Injury Type: right elbow		Experience: 2 College: North Carolina Height: 76 Weight: 219 Born: 5/28/1987

Summary

Quarterback Rank: #60All Players: #373

Yates didn't find his way into the starting lineup last season, attempting 10 passes in four games. He served as the top backup for the Texans, a role he should serve again this coming season. Yates got some valuable starting experience as a rookie, which helped his development as a quarterback. In six games his rookie season, 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. 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 his rookie season but is a young player that will get better. He still isn't a guy to draft but could be worth a spot start at this stage of his career if he is forced into a starting role. He has some upside because he is a playmaker.

The Houston Texans are not ruling out the possibility of selecting a quarterback at some point during the 2013 NFL Draft. The team would like to find a mobile quarterback like San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick and Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson. The Texans do not believe QB T.J. Yates is the long-term solution at quarterback.
