Expert
Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros	Over the last two years, CJ Stroud has been unable to match the splendor of his 2023 rookie season. Shoddy offensive line play was undoubtedly part of the problem in 2024. The Texans' O-line outperformed expectations in 2025, but Stroud was a league-average starter at best. As a rookie, Stroud threw for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns, with only five interceptions. He averaged 273.2 passing yards per game and 8.2 yards per pass attempt. In 31 starts over the last two seasons, Stroud has averaged 218.3 passing yards per game and 7.1 yards per attempt. His yearly finishes in fantasy points per game among QBs with at least nine starts: QB7, QB26, QB20. The Texans have worked on upgrading Stroud's offensive line, and Houston has a solid set of pass catchers led by WR Nico Collins. But with Houston having one of the NFL's top defenses, Stroud probably won't be presented with a lot of pass-happy game scripts. Consider Stroud a low-end QB in 2026 fantasy drafts.	After a poor season with the Raiders in 2025, Geno Smith is expected to be the Jets' Week 1 starter in 2026. Smith threw 17 interceptions in 15 starts last season and averaged just 12.7 fantasy points per game. But Smith is only two years removed from a 4,320-yard season with the Seahawks in 2024. And at 35, Smith is old but not ancient. The Jets have a solid offensive line and an interesting collection of pass catchers that includes Garrett Wilson and first-round rookies Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr. It's unlikely that Smith will have much fantasy relevance this season, but it's possible he'll be capable enough to warrant consideration as an injury or bye week fill-in.
