Week 2 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.
C.J. Stroud was a late addition to the injury report on Friday and is now questionable to start Sunday’s game against the Colts due to a shoulder injury. What is his injury, and how will it impact Week 2 lineups? Here’s what we know.

C.J. Stroud (shoulder) listed as questionable for Week 2
Texans QB C.J. Stroud (shoulder) is listed as questionable for a Week 2 matchup with the Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Stroud was added to the injury report Friday and was listed as a limited participant in practice. If Stroud is unable to play, Davis Mills would step in as the QB1 for Houston, which should cause fantasy managers to downgrade the Texans’ pass catchers.
What the Experts Are Saying
Stroud didn’t have the same fast start as Richardson. He was 21st in passing grade, 18th in adjusted completion rate, and had the 11th-lowest yards per attempt in Week 1. However, Stroud gets an easier test in Week 2 against the Colts. Last week, Indy permitted the ninth-highest yards per attempt, seventh-highest passer rating, and the sixth-highest adjusted completion rate. Stroud is a QB2 that could post QB1 numbers this week.
