C.J. Stroud

C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-39 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Houston’s 27-19, Week 16 loss to the Chiefs.

He added 23 rushing yards. Stroud was up and down for most of this game. His two picks were both ghastly: A jump-throw with a defender in his lap that had no velocity and was easily picked, and a sailed throw to Nico Collins on a post route that went right to the safety. But he also made some extremely impressive throws, especially the 30-yard touchdown pass to Tank Dell in the back of the end zone. Ultimately, this offense stinks and Stroud is fighting the current of it in every game. That will remain the case in Week 17 against the Ravens, where Stroud will be little more than a QB2 for fantasy purposes.
