The Facts: Mallett is projected to be the starter for the Houston Texans in Week 1 of the 2015 regular season according to Drew Dougherty of houstontexans.com.
Diehards Line:As the Redzone.org notes, Mallett seems very likely to re-sign with the Texans after they traded for him and were the ones to give him his long-awaited shot last season before he tore his pectoral after making one start. He has already been seen working out at the team facility this offseason. The most likely scenario is that the Texans release veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and make second-year pro Tom Savage the backup. Mallett will turn 27 in June. He has a tremendous arm but is one of the least mobile quarterbacks in the league.
