Taking over for Jake Locker, who left the game with an injured shoulder, Hasselbeck completed 17 of 25 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans, However, he also threw two picks that were returned for scores and sunk the Titans, who went on to lose 38-14.

Fantasy Impact: Locker will be getting an MRI on his shoulder this week, but the injury looked ugly enough that Hasselbeck may be starting for a while. The 37-year-old can't air out the ball anymore, but he's still better than Locker at reading defenses, staying poised in the pocket and not forcing bad throws. Hass will be a popular waiver wire pickup this week if Locker can't go against the Vikings.
