C.J. Stroud

C.J. Stroud completed 20-of-33 passes for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Houston’s Week 12, 32-27 loss to the Titans.

He only took four sacks, which made him the better of the two quarterbacks in this game, but he did get pressured into a game-losing safety on his own goal line after one of them. Stroud looked better with Nico Collins back in general, but the second half was a dire place as the Texans anchored in on running the ball in a game where they couldn’t run the ball. Stroud’s first pick looked like a miscommunication, but his second was a bad ball to Collins across the field, deep in the down. Jacksonville’s defense will make him a borderline QB1 next week, but we’re running out of belief that the rookie year production is coming back this year.
