C.J. Stroud

Since Week 8, C.J. Stroud has continued to play at a middling starter level. Since Week 8, among 46 qualifying passers, Stroud ranks sixth in yards per attempt but 34th in highly accurate throw rate, 29th in catchable target rate, and 33rd in hero throw rate. He could have a nice spike week in Week 14, though. The Chiefs' pass defense has been struggling. Since Week 9, they have allowed the sixth-highest yards per attempt, the fifth-most passing yards per game, the fourth-highest success rate per dropback, and they have generated the 13th-lowest pressure rate. Stroud is a QB2 that could turn in QB1 numbers this week.

The Texans DST has the No. 1 schedule in the fantasy postseason: Cardinals, Raiders, and Chargers.
However, it is conversely bad for QBs (bottom-3) and WRs (bottom-10). Leave C.J. Stroud on waivers.

Whether it's been Davis Mills or C.J. Stroud under center, the Texans have been rolling. After a big divisional win against the Colts in Week 13, they take their four-game win streak on the road against the Chiefs for Sunday Night Football. This game is massive for both teams. With the AFC Wild Card race neck and neck, both the Chiefs and Texans are currently on the outside looking in. For fantasy, this could be a tough game for both offenses. The Texans are allowing the fewest yards per game, and the Chiefs are allowing the eighth-fewest yards to opposing offenses. Against the Colts on Sunday, Stroud failed to produce a touchdown despite completing 22-of-35 passes for 276 yards. With the Chiefs allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs, Stroud may be forced to try and move the ball through the air. It's a tough matchup, but Stroud should be able to produce double-digit fantasy points.
