Schaub completed 29-of-38 passes for 262 yards with one interception and was not sacked Saturday in Houston's 19-13 playoff victory over Cincinnati.

Analysis: To borrow a cliched word in describing Schaub's performance, it was workmanlike. The Texans controlled the ball for nearly 39 minutes and generated 420 yards of offense, getting into the red-zone four times. On the other hand, he threw one horrible pick (returned for a touchdown), failed to connect with Andre Johnson in the end zone (a ball not perfectly thrown, but one Johnson should be able to handle), and had to settle for three field goals when the Texans drove inside the Bengals' 10-yard-line. The win will keep the complaining fans off Schaub's back for a week, but he and his mates better be scoring seven when they get their opportunities next week in New England.

Schaub completed 24-of-36 passes with no touchdowns, two interceptions, and was sacked four times in Houston's loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Analysis: Schaub had a rough finish to the season, throwing one touchdown pass in the regular season's final four games. It was another disappointing day in the red-zone for the Texans, who settled for two field goals in three trips, giving them seven field goals and two touchdowns in their last nine trips to the red area.

Schaub completed 18-of-32 passes for 178 yards Sunday against the Vikings.

Analysis: A very disappointing day for Schaub, who failed to throw a touchdown for the second time in the last three games. In fact, he's gone three straight weeks without throwing for multiple scores and hasn't reached 265 passing yards since Week 12. With the loss Sunday, the Texans have to beat the Colts in Week 17 to secure a first-round playoff bye, which means Schaub will have something to play for in the last week of the season.

Schaub completed 23-of-31 passes for 261 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over the Colts.

Analysis: Schaub's average of 253.9 passing yards per game ranks him 12th in the NFL, while his 22 passing TDs are good for eight overall, serviceable numbers for fantasy owners. However, his upside on that front is somewhat limited by the fact that the Texans are tops in the league with an average of 33.7 rushes per game.

Schaub could thrive in Week 15

In his Week 15 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "Schaub has been inconsistent overall from a statistical perspective, but he has recorded 18-plus fantasy points in each of his last three home games." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: This week's matchup against the Colts is a favorable one, as their defense has allowed an average of close to 18 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on the road.

Schaub completed 19-of-32 passes for 232 yards and one interception in Monday's loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Schaub looked flustered all day, and could have easily thrown two or three interceptions. The Texans struggled to move the ball on the ground and through the air, while the Pats moved the ball with ease. The loss makes Sunday's game against the Colts a lot more meaningful.

Schaub riding hot streak

In his "Week 14 Sleepers" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "the Patriots have allowed at least 325 passing yards in four consecutive home games. The only drawback is the Patriots play well at home on Monday Night Football." FULL SLEEPERS REPORT

Analysis: The Texans have become a run-based team with a strong defense in recent years, but that doesn't mean Schaub can't be a valuable fantasy contributor. Schaub has scored at least 14 fantasy points in five of his last six games.

Schaub doubles up

Schaub has connected with James Casey and Lestar Jean for touchdowns in first quarter action against the Tennessee Titans. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: The quarterback is off to a fast start for fantasy owners, taking advantage of a struggling Titans secondary.

Titans struggle at home

In his Week 13 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes the Titans defense has "surrendered the second-most fantasy points to quarterback on their home field this season." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Schaub has not been the most consistent player in fantasy land, but he has scored 18-plus points in three of his last five starts overall.

Schaub completed 29-of-48 passes for 315 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Houston's overtime victory at Detroit on Thursday.

Analysis: This was not Sunday's 527-yard, five-touchdown extravaganza in yet another game that entered an extra session. However, Schaub directed a 15-play, 97-yard drive that ate up 5:43 of clock in the latter half of the fourth quarter that sent the game into overtime. During that drive, he completed a 16-yard dart to Andre Johnson on fourth-and-seven that kept the Texans' hopes alive. Next on the docket is Tennessee's 26th ranked defense, which should further pad his stats.

Lions better than advertised vs. pass

In his Week 12 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em analysis, Michael Fabiano says to "keep in mind that the Lions have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks on their home field (12.29 PPG) this season." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Schaub put up a monstrous stat line in last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, so countless fantasy owners will lean on him again. However, the Lions held Aaron Rodgers to just 15.74 points last weekend. Temper your expectations for him this week.

Texans rank #1 in Power Rankings

In his Week 12 "Power Rankings," Elliot Harrison notes that for the Texans last week, "The bright spot in the win was Andre Johnson, who looked like the guy who was once voted as the best wide receiver of Y2K. Fourteen catches, 273 yards and a walk-off touchdown. So much for being old and slow." FULL WEEK 12 POWER RANKINGS

Analysis: Though the Lions are ranked 8th versus the pass, the defense has allowed 16 touchdowns to go with just six interceptions. If Matt Schaub and Johnson can continue their newfound rapport, another solid performance could be in the making.

Schaub passes way into history books

Schaub threw a career-high five touchdown passes, completed a franchise-record 43 passes and finished with 527 yards passing, second most in NFL history. Andre Johnson accounted for more than half of Schaub's total yardage, hauling in 14 catches for 273 yards and a score. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: The result was a 37.08 point day for Schaub owners, a total which could have him finishing as the top-scoring fantasy player of Week 11. At number two is Johnson, who totaled 33.30 points for the day. While this kind of output on a weekly basis can't be expected, to see the duo regain their chemistry in time for a playoff run is a welcome sight for fantasy owners.

Matt Schaub: 527 Yards and Five TDs in OT Win Sunday

Schaub completed 43-of-55 passes for 527 yards, with five touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's overtime win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: The game was an offensive shootout and with the Jaguars doing a good job of limiting the Texans' usually prolific running game, Schaub dominated through the air. He connected with nine different receivers, although the man of the day was Andre Johnson, who caught 14-of-19 balls thrown his way for 273 yards and a touchdown. Up next is a trip to Detroit on Thanksgiving day to face off against a defense ranked in the top-10 against the pass this season.

Schaub faces prime matchup in Week 11

In his "Move the Sticks" analysis, Daniel Jeremiah notes, "Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who threw for just 95 yards, didn't have one of his better games, but he did toss the contest's only touchdown pass. He turned the ball over twice, but considering the opponent and the field conditions, that was an achievement." READ: WEEK 10 NOTES

Analysis: Schaub will see a considerably better day in Week 11 against the Jaguars 23rd ranked passing defense.

Schaub completed 14-of-26 passes for 95 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Analysis: Although his statline was ugly, it was better than the combination of Jay Cutler (concussion) and Jason Campbell. The weather played a big factor in this one, and both defenses forced turnovers throughout the contest. Schaub should have a much better game Week 11 against the lowly Jaguars.

Schaub faces tough test in Week 10

In his Week 10 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, fantasy expert Michael Fabiano notes, "Schaub and the Texans travel to Chicago to face a Bears defense that has allowed six touchdowns and the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks." READ: START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Like Cutler, Schaub is coming off a solid stat line in Week 9. Also like Cutler, he faced a vulnerable opponent in the Buffalo Bills. That won't be the case this weekend.

Schaub, Foster lead the way

Matt Schaub threw two touchdown passes, and Arian Foster ran for 111 yards with a score against the NFL's worst rushing defense as the Houston Texans beat the Buffalo Bills 21-9 on Sunday. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Foster scored for the fifth consecutive game and now leads all running backs with ten touchdowns this season. Schaub has now posted two-straight 18-plus performances and seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch.

Schaub completed 19-of-27 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Bills.

Analysis: Schaub connected with only five receivers, although it was more than enough to lead the Texans to victory. It was the fourth time this season that he's passed for multiple scores and fifth without an interception. He could be asked to carry more of the load next week, as the Texans will face off against a Bears' defense that was ranked No. 1 against the run heading into Week 9.

Bills defense kind to opposing WRs

In his "Week 9 Sleepers" analysis, fantasy expert Adam Rank believes Kevin Walter makes for a nice sleeper against a Bills defense which has "allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers." READ: WEEK 9 SLEEPERS

Analysis: The Bills have allowed 14 passing scores this season compared to just six interceptions. Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub should also thrive this week, hopefully serving as the spark which puts the duo back on track as the season continues.

Schaub completed 23-of-37 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 43-13 mauling of the Ravens.

Analysis: The Ravens defense isn't a particularly fearsome unit right now, but this was an excellent performance by Schaub none-the-less. He'll head into his bye week with plenty of confidence and should be able to keep the good vibes going with a friendly matchup against the Bills after that.

Texans' offense taking advantage of Ravens' injuries

Andre Johnson has been Matt Schaub's top target in early action against the Ravens, totaling 6 receptions for 52 yards, but it's been Kevin Walter and Owen Daniels on the receiving end of Schaub's two TD passes. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: The Texans have taken advantage of the Ravens' depleted defense in first-half action. Expect more fireworks in the second-half.

Ravens undefeated vs. Texans

Not only is it a bounce-back week, the Texans face a franchise they've never beaten. The Baltimore Ravens have never lost to the Texans and three of those victories have come in the playoffs. FULL STORY

Analysis: Look for the Texans to feed the Ravens' 26th ranked rush defense a heavy dose of Arian Foster. In his lone game against Baltimore last season, Schaub only had one TD pass to go with 220 yards passing.

Schaub struggles vs. Packers

Schaub completed 20-of-33 passes for 232 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Packers. FULL GAME RECAP

Analysis: Facing an injury riddled Ravens defense in Week 7, Schaub should get back on track.

Schaub completed 20-of-33 passes for 232 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Schaub and the Texans were forced to play from behind all game, but couldn't find a groove against the Packers defense. Schaub has a good matchup Week 7 against the Ravens, who boast the 23rd-ranked pass defense in the league.

Schaub defends Johnson critics

Matt Schaub defended teammate Andre Johnson from growing criticism about his play, the Houston Texans quarterback said on "NFL Total Access." Schaub stated Johnson is "obviously one of the best receivers in this league. And teams obviously know that. They gear and game plan things to take him away." FULL STORY

Analysis: Johnson has totaled just 40.30 fantasy points this season, ranking him 29th among all WRs. Things should get better on Sunday against a Packers' secondary which has allowed 10 passing TDs this year.

Schaub completed 14-of-28 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown Monday night in Houston's win over the Jets.

Analysis: After Schaub easily moved the Texans down the field on their opening drive -- he completed 4-of-5 attempts for 67 yards and a 34-yard touchdown to Owen Daniels -- things were never the same for the quarterback. The Jets were very good on pass defense after that, limiting Schaub to a season-low 14 completions and 71.0 rating. They also forced Schaub into his second interception of the season.

Schaub undefeated last eight games

NFL.com's Kimberly Jones notes Texans QB Matt Schaub "is 8-0 with a 68.4 completion percentage in his last eight starts, logging 12 touchdowns and two interceptions." FULL STORY

Analysis: Though the Jets are 4th in pass defense, their 31st ranking against the run should allow Schaub to attack the secondary behind a heavy dose of Arian Foster. Start all your Texans as normal.

Schaub (shoulder) completed 20-of-28 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in Houston's win over Tennessee in Week 4.

Analysis: The Texans ground game wasn't operating at peak performance Sunday, so it was up to Schaub and Houston's defense to carry the day. And Schaub is more than capable, having thrown six touchdown passes in the previous two games.

Texans thrive against Titans

Danieal Manning and Kareem Jackson returned interceptions for touchdowns, and Matt Schaub threw two TD passes in the Houston Texans' 38-14 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Analysis: The Texans totaled 23 fantasy points on the day as a result of their pick-sixes, and remain one of the elite defenses in fantasy land.

Schaub (left shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Schaub was banged up a bit against the Broncos last week, but he practiced all week and is good to go for Week 4.

Schaub practiced without any issues Monday after taking an illegal blow to the head during Week 3's win over Denver, the Texans' official site reports.

Analysis: Schaub absorbed two roughing-the-passer penalties during the win over Denver, but the only injury appears to be a gash on his ear. He also underwent an x-ray of his shoulder during the third quarter of the game, according to another report from the Texans' official site. "Matt is fine," Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said. "He took his normal Monday, worked out with the team and threw a little bit."

Schaub was forced to leave Sunday's game against Denver for one play after being the victim of two roughing-the-passer penalties, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: A Texans team doctor came out to the field and did not see any concussion symptoms, but Schaub did have a gash on his ear. The one-play respite was merely to address the cut.

Schaub completed 17-of-30 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns Sunday against the Broncos.

Analysis: Schaub was masterful Sunday, completing passes to eight different receivers, four of which caught a touchdown. He was the victim of back-to-back roughing the passer penalties in the second half but he managed to stay in the game and throw his fourth score. It's an offensive output that very un-Texan like, as Arian Foster and Ben Tate failed to score rushing touchdowns, but those who started Schaub on Sunday were certainly celebrating.

Schaub completed 26-of-35 passes for 195 yards in Houston's win over Jacksonville in Week 2.

Analysis: Schaub didn't have to do too much with his throwing arm Sunday, as the Texans rushed the ball 48 times compared to 35 passing attempts. With the type of ground game they have, this could be a common occurrence. While Schaub is an accurate passer and will no doubt win a few games with his arm this season, Houston's running game will serve to limit his attempts and yards.

The Texans signed Schaub to a four-year contract extension, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Schaub is currently working on the final season of a six-year deal he signed with Houston when the Texans acquired him from Atlanta in 2007. He was one of three players -- linebacker Connor Barwin and left tackle Duane Brown the others -- the team was hoping to re-sign/extend before the start of the season.

Schaub completed 20-of-31 passes for 266 yards and one touchdown in Houston's win over Miami on Sunday.

Analysis: Schaub sputtered early on, but the Houston defense forced three turnovers, giving the offense short fields to pile up a big halftime lead. At some point, the game became all about protecting a big lead and running out the clock. Hence, Schaub's numbers were a bit suppressed.

Schaub itching for action

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub believes the team is as good as we've been going into Week 1. I feel really confident about where we're headed.

Analysis: Schaub and company have a favorable match up Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, who shipped cornerback Vontae Davis to the Colts last week. Fantasy owners with Schaub as their No. 1 can start him with confidence, while those who own him as their No. 2 should evaluate if he's worthy of a spot start.

Schaub completed 15-of-18 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason game against the Saints.

Analysis: Schaub continues to look good here in the preseason as he looks to put 2011 and the Lisfranc fracture in his foot behind him. He orchestrated a an eight-play, 80 yard drive early on and Schaub's 26-yard completion to Garrett Graham put the ball on the one-yard line to set up a Ben Tate touchdown. With a healthy offense, Schaub could be in line for a huge season.

Schaub completed 11-of-14 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown in Houston's preseason win over San Francisco on Saturday.

Analysis: Schaub, whose 2011 season was cut short by a foot injury, is getting himself ready for a big year for Houston, a team expected to make a deep playoff run. The return of Andre Johnson to the lineup was especially helpful to Schaub.

Schaub completed 3-of-6 passes for 52 yards and an interception in Houston's 26-13 preseason-opening victory at Carolina on Saturday.

Analysis: Schaub made his first appearance since breaking his right foot last season, leading a 65-yard drive that culminated in a Shayne Graham chip-shot field goal while throwing an interception on his second and final possession. Schaub was without Andre Johnson (groin), though, so there was little to garner from his performance, other than his relative comfort in the offense.

Matt Schaub: Medically Cleared

Schaub has been medically cleared to take part in training camp, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Schaub declared himself "100 percent" recovered from his Lisfranc injury near the end of June, but Dr. Robert Anderson gave him the official green light Thursday. Schaub, who posted 2,479 yards and 15 touchdowns in 10 games last season, will be entering the final year of his contract with Houston.

Matt Schaub: Says Foot is 100 Percent

Schaub said that he is "100 percent" recovered from his Lisfranc injury, according to Nick Scurfield of HoustonTexans.com.

Analysis: In fact, Schaub has led players-only throwing sessions this week at the University of Houston, which along with his declaration of full health, bodes well for him being good to go come training camp.

Matt Schaub: (Foot) Ready to Go

Schaub says that he is healthy in the wake of the Lisfranc surgery he underwent on his right foot last November, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Though Schaub, who sat out the Texans' latest OTAs as a precaution, will sit out out next week's minicamp, he says he's "ready to go" and will be 100 percent when training camp begins in late July.

Schaub entering a contract year in '12

NFL.com's Michael Fabiano points out that Schaub is entering the final year of his contract with the Houston Texans.

Analysis: Ever since Arian Foster burst onto the scene, Schaub's fantasy value has been limited. Coming off Lisfranc surgery, he will also be playing to ensure potential employers he is back to full health. Consider Schaub a No. 2 QB on draft day.

As expected, Schaub was a non-participant on the first day of the Texans' OTAs on Monday, as he continues to rehab his right foot, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: That said, the report adds Schaub will be ready to go by the start of training camp, assuming no setbacks with his foot.

Matt Schaub: (Foot) Recovery on Schedule

Schaub said he's right on schedule in his recovery from a right Lisfranc fracture, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis: Schuab, who missed the final six weeks of the regular season and the playoffs, had a procedure last week to remove screws and pins from his foot. He expects to be fully healthy by the time training camp begins in July.

Schaub (foot) is no longer in a boot and is expected to be fully recovered by May, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis: There's no reason to think Schaub won't be ready for training camp, but Lisfranc injuries are always concerning and his owners will want to follow his progress. Everything is looking fine at the moment, though.

Schaub (foot) was in a walking boot Monday and told reporters that he'll be ready to resume practicing when the Texans begin organized team activities in the offseason, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Schaub's foot injury may have cost the Texans a shot at the Super Bowl. Houston appeared to be the better team in Sunday's playoff loss to Baltimore, and were in need of a few plays from its quarterback.

Schaub will undergo surgery to repair the damaged Lisfranc ligament in his right foot next Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: The surgery will be performed by Dr. Bob Anderson, an orthopedic foot specialist in Charlotte, N.C. Schaub met with Anderson earlier in the week and was told by the doctor that surgery was the only way to ensure proper healing.

The Texans will place Schaub (foot) on injured reserve, ending his season, NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports.

Analysis: This is a tough blow for the Texans, who will now turn to Matt Leinart to guide the team to the playoffs. The Texans signed Kellen Clemens to fill Schaub's roster spot. Schaub will likely undergo surgery on his Lisfranc injury in the near future.

Schaub will travel to Charlotte (N.C.) on Tuesday to have his foot examined by a specialist, the Texans' official site reports.

Analysis: The plan calls for Schaub to be examined Wednesday morning, and the Texans should know exactly what they're dealing with and how long Schaub is expected to be out. At that time, the team will make a decision on signing a veteran backup to Matt Leinart.

Schaub (foot) acknowledged that the chances he plays again this season "doesn't look good," but he holds out that he can play again, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Schaub will meet with specialists next week to see if there's a way he can avoid surgery and play again this season. "My foot is pretty much the size of a cinder block right now, but we're going to search out some other opinions and do as much as we can to get it right and see what will happen," Fantasy owners should already be preparing their contingency plans with the expectation that Schaub will be of no use the rest of the way. The quarterback added that the foot was injured during a quarterback sneak when Tampa Bay's defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth fell on his foot.

Schaub is expected to visit with specialists next week before making a decision on undergoing season-ending foot surgery, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: An MRI on Monday revealed an injury to the Lisfranc joint in Schaub's right foot. Even if Schaub elects not to have surgery, it looks like he'll miss significant time with no guarantee he's available for the regular season or postseason, should Houston qualify. Matt Leinart will take over the offense, starting in Week 12 after Houston's bye week. Schaub sustained the injury during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay when someone fell on the back of his foot on a quarterback sneak.

Matt Schaub: Out Indefinitely With Foot Injury

Coach Gary Kubiak has yet to confirm that Schaub (foot) is out for the season, Nick Scurfield of The Texans' official site reports. "It was described to me as a significant injury that they're trying to evaluate," Kubiak said Monday of the QB's injury. "I know it's been reported a couple places exactly what's going on, but as of right now, they haven't given me any conclusions. They're just trying to give me their opinions on what we should do and how we should handle it as of today."

Analysis: Kubiak acknowledged that Schaub will be in a walking boot this week and will begin visiting specialists to check on the injury next Monday or Tuesday. In any case, Schaub is out indefinitely and our gut feeling is we've seen the last of him this year, but obviously nothing is official on that front yet.

Matt Schaub: Foot Injury to End Season

Schaub is out for the season with a Lisfranc injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Analysis: Schefter is as solid an NFL injury source as there is, so it looks like IR is the next stop for Schaub. As a result, Matt Leinart gets the keys to a Houston offense that features a strong running attack and the impending return of stud wideout Andre Johnson.

Matt Schaub: Out With Foot Injury

Schaub has a "significant foot injury that's being evaluated as we speak," coach Gary Kubiak noted Monday, Nick Scurfield of The Texans' official site reports.

Analysis: Kubiak added that Schaub is "gonna miss some time. We're going to do everything we can to get it evaluated correctly and see if we can get him back." Either way, Matt Leinart will start the Texans' next game (Nov. 27) against the Jags and from the sound of it, beyond that week as well.

Schaub completed 11-of-15 passes for 242 yards and two touchdown strikes in Houston's 37-9 over Tampa Bay in Week 10 on Sunday.

Analysis: It was another game where the Texans accentuated the ground game, as his 15 attempts were a season low, but Schaub was able to connect on two long bombs for scores. He hit Jacoby Jones on the game's opening play for an 80-yard score and later Arian Foster turned a reception into a 78-yard touchdown.
