2012 Outlook: Sleeper (undervalued)

Last updated on Aug-19-2012 by Chris Weeks

When Matt Schaub is on the field he tends to do well for fantasy owners. The problem is Schaub tends to spend as much time watching as he does playing. The injuries he has suffered are not his fault, but that doesn't make losing him any easier for fantasy owners. Last year Schaub only made it through nine games; in week 10 Tampa Bay's Albert Haynesworth rolled up on Schaub's right foot causing a serious and season-ending lisfranc injury, At this point it appears Schaub will be healthy in time for the start of training camp and combined with the Texans vaunted ground game, this offense could do some serious damage. If you're a gambling owner then Schaub is your man - over the past 5 years Schaub has only made it through 16 games twice. However, since he won't be drafted as a QB1 in 12-team or smaller leagues, the price to acquire should not be that steep.When Schaub is on he's a great fantasy quarterback, but you have to be willing to lose him at some point in the year (possibly for the remainder of the season). Michael Vick and Peyton Manning owners could target him as a QB2 while those daring on RG3 could add the veteran Schaub as a weekly safety net.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	9.10	Bleacher Report
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	7.09	KFFL.com - In two full seasons with the Texans, Schaub passed for at least 4,300 yards and 24 touchdowns. At this stage of the draft, I'll accept similar numbers after building the core of my team to this point.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	9.01	KFFL.com - Decent value for a backup that, though his team is run-first, still has Andre Johnson to throw to. Also considered Jay Cutler, who went in the very next pick.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	11.04	FFToday.com - I could wait for my backup QB a little longer, but with Big Ben my starter I should acquire one a little earlier than I otherwise would, plus Schaub seems to be a little undervalued right now. The Texans will be a top contending team in the AFC and Schaub should be in position to put up some strong numbers as a result.
