Team claims Brandon Weeden off waivers
It appears that the Houston Texans will attempt to keep their place atop the AFC South without Brian Hoyer on Sunday. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapaport reported Wednesday that Hoyer — who suffered a concussion in Monday night’s win over the Bengals — is expected to sit out Sunday’s matchup against the Jets, according to a source informed of the quarterback’s situation. With Hoyer out, backup T.J. Yates is in line to make his first NFL start since Jan. 15, 2012.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Houston continues to be bitten by the injury bug this season with Brian Hoyer sidelined for at least one week with a concussion. T.J. Yates is not the most appealing fantasy option going up against one of the best defenses in the league. With top receiving target DeAndre Hopkins likely to be blanketed by Darrelle Revis, Houston’s offense will struggle to move the chains.
