Fantasy Football Player Notes

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.
