Graham Mertz

Graham Mertz is a 25-year-old quarterback in his second NFL season after Houston drafted him out of Florida in 2025. He is listed as the Texans' QB3, a spot that normally means no regular snaps. There are no season stats on file for him, so the data does not show how he would produce in this offense.

Without production from 2026 or prior seasons, there is no per-game baseline to judge him against. His one year of NFL experience has not produced numbers here.

The Clutch Edge projection lists him at 17.3 points per game, ranked 120th overall among QB/RB/WR/TE. But his injury status is IR, and that is the deciding fact this week. He is not an option in season-long lineups or on DraftKings or FanDuel slates while he is on injured reserve. What would change the read is a return from IR combined with movement up the depth chart. Until both happen, he is a name to monitor, not one to roster.
