Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Matt Schaub: In 2007, Schaub had three games where he threw for multiple scores, and he had one contest where he eclipsed 300 passing yards in a shortened season.  Schaub proved he is a solid quarterback when Andre Johnson is healthy and in the lineup.

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Matt Schaub: Schaub is coming off an injury plagued 2007 season, which will likely cause fantasy owners to be a little reluctant to draft him.  Last season, he had three games where he thew multiple interceptions, and he had three contests where he was limited to under 80 passing yards.

Bottom Line: Schaub is a high risk, medium reward fantasy player, and he is a serviceable No.1 quarterback when he has Johnson at his disposal.
