Fantasy Football Player Notes

After last week's insane 36.4 fantasy-point outing, C.J. Stroud is the QB6 in fantasy points per game. Stroud is playing the best football of his career. At this point, that's not debatable. Among 31 qualifying passers, he is sixth in yards per attempt, 13th in passing success rate, seventh in highly accurate throw rate, and third in hero throw rate. Stroud has four 300-yard passing days this season while tossing for multiple passing touchdowns in five games. He'll have an uphill climb this week to meet the lofty weekly bar he has set this season. The Browns' pass defense remains one of the best in the league. Over their last five games, they have allowed the third-lowest passing touchdown rate, the eighth-lowest yards per attempt, the third-lowest passing success rate, and the seventh-lowest EPA per dropback.
