2023 Fantasy Outlook
A sixth-round pick of the 49ers in 2016, Driskel has made 11 starts for four different teams since then, including two for the Texans last year. In seven games overall in 2022, he totaled 108 yards and a touchdown on 14-for-20 passing, 20 carries for 75 yards and a four-yard catch. Now with the Cardinals, Driskel is situated behind Kyler Murray (who is recovering from a torn ACL), Colt McCoy, rookie Clayton Tune and David Blough on the QB depth chart. Read Past Outlooks

Getting let go
Driskel will be released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Driskel's exit will leave Joshua Dobbs, Clayton Tune and David Blough as the healthy quarterbacks on the team's roster. Wilson speculates that the veteran could return to the team next week though, according to a league source.

After back-to-back directionless seasons, the Texans are embarking on a full rebuild under the guidance of new coach Demeco Ryans and rookie QB C.J. Stroud.

With Kyler Murray in recovery mode from last year's season-ending knee injury and a new coaching staff in town, the Cardinals are in the midst of a rebuild in a top-heavy NFC West.

Driskel's deal with the Texans contains a $1 million base salary with numerous potential bonuses and incentives. Given the murky situation surrounding Deshaun Watson's future with the team, Driskel's landing spot is more intriguing for fantasy purposes than if he had been brought in to compete for a backup gig elsewhere. Beyond Watson, Driskel will vie for depth-chart slotting with veteran Tyrod Taylor and rookie third-round pick Davis Mills.
