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.

C.J. Stroud completed 22-of-35 passes for 276 yards and an interception in the Texans 20-16 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Stroud turned the ball over once and did not throw a touchdown, but he did lead the Texans on some drives that resulted in rushing touchdowns. He is a QB2 play next week against the Chiefs.
