September 5, 2008 Matt Schaub commented on Sunday's opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the Houston Chronicle. Schaub said, "This is one of those games that you basically have eight months to prepare for. You start watching this opponent early on in the offseason and you really get into depth into what they do. Again, it’s the first game. You can look at players all you want, but they could come out with something totally new and totally different. You always have to diagnose what they are doing early and be able to attack those things." Our View:Schaub is expected to serve as a solid No. 2 fantasy quarterback this season, and a solid performance against an imposing Steelers' defense will help solidify that belief. |

August 22, 2008 Matt Schaub had a solid game against the Cowboys, throwing 27 passes and completing 15 of them for 166 yards and a touchdown, but Houston was still downed by Dallas, 23-22. Our View:Schaub will not single-handedly lead fantasy owners to a championship, but he can be a reliable second QB, especially with Andre Johnson healthy. |

August 16, 2008 Matt Schaub torched the Saints secondary in the second round of preseason games. He completed 14-of-16 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. One of his incompletions was a drop by Andre Davis. Our View:Schaub did his best to show-up Drew Brees, who was nearly as efficient. We continue to like Schaub as a solid No. 2 fantasy quarterback |

May 9, 2008 Matt Schaub, who is recovering from surgery on his left shoulder, will participate fully during minicamp, according to the Houston Chronicle. Coach Gary Kubiak said he will be able to do everything in their weekend minicamp. Our View:His rehab is going favorably. Schaub fired nine touchdown passes over 11 games last season, and the Texans' success in 2008 will depend on his recovery. |

April 24, 2008 Even though the Houston Texans are slated to make their first selection at No. 18, the organization isn’t overly attached to that slot, according to the Houston Chronicle. With the NFL draft just two days away, general manager Rick Smith has already started making phone calls. "Certainly we're confident that we're going to get a good player at the 18th pick, but if there is an opportunity for us to move backwards and acquire additional picks I think you've got to entertain that," Smith said. "I think what happens is as the board starts to fall and you start to evaluate the players that are on the board, if there is a player that you feel like can make a significant difference with your club I think you've got to take it. If that's not the case, I think you have to entertain moving back.” Our View:The Texans have several holes to fill, and are interested in acquiring more picks since they have only five. |

April 2, 2008 Houston general manager Rick Smith and head coach Gary Kubiak expect to get a starter with the 18th overall pick in the first round, according to the Houston Chronicle. "We can't miss on this player, we've got a lot of needs," Kubiak said. "We need a left tackle, a cornerback, a running back and another pass rusher. We can't say we're not taking any position." Heading into the draft it was thought that cornerback was the Texans’ biggest area of need, but reading between the lines it appears they might take the best player available at a position of need with the 18th overall pick. |

March 28, 2008 Matt Schaub, recovering from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, will throw passes to receivers during the Texans' offseason program, according to the Houston Chroncle. "I'm close to having my full range of motion back. I just need to keep getting my muscles stronger," said Schaub. "We're moving right along." Even though Sage Rosenfels won four of his five starts while filling in for Schaub last season, coach Gary Kubiak has made it clear that Schaub is his starter. |

March 20, 2008 Matt Schaub could be slightly limited when the Houston Texans conditioning program starts on March 31, according to the Houston Chronicle. Schaub’s shoulder is healing well, and the Texans are not expecting him to be slowed for long. Schaub almost has his full range of motion back, and is able to throw to receivers right now, but the non-throwing surgically repaired shoulder isn’t strong enough to take a hit yet. |

January 14, 2008 Matt Schaub recently underwent surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder. He's expected to require 2-3 months to recover, according to the Houston Chronicle. Barring any setbacks, Schaub should be fully healed in time for the Texans' OTAs. |
