Had any of you heard of Matt Schaub before this season? I certainly hadn't, and considering how little broadcast time the Texans get I probably still would barely have been aware of him had he not ended up on my fantasy team. And yet, I'm about to make the decision to start him next week over Peyton Manning.
Schaub isn't getting a whole lot of attention, probably because the Texans are only 5-4. But in terms of passing stats he's keeping pace with Manning, Brady, Brees. And the Texans are playing Tennessee, 2nd worst pass defense in the league, while Indy is going up against the Ravens. It feels so wrong to put Manning on the bench, but I think it's the right call.
Schaub's got my vote for surprise player of the year.
