1. Brock Osweiler, QB

Ok, so personally I have never been big on Alfred Blue so his name on this list is unsurprising. I have been a huge supporter of quarterback Brock Osweiler though, but he also winds up on this list.

While the signing of Osweiler still makes sense, he is now 0-2 on opening drives. Against both the Bears and Chiefs, Houston saw their first drive end with an Osweiler interception.

Against the Chiefs he threw a second one as well to the same player as his first, Marcus Peters. In the end Houston got the win, but that doesn’t mean Brock has been perfect.

Osweiler has been rather up and down. He has thrown some serious dimes like his 27-yard touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins. He also hit Will Fuller on a beautiful deep ball.

Yet the mistakes keep happening, and now they’re happening in the red zone. Houston is an excellent defense and can mask some mistakes. That doesn’t mean the Texans can afford to leave points on the board though.
