C.J. Stroud Dynasty Value

If you started Texans QB C.J. Stroud in Sunday's win over the 49ers, then he rewarded you with his second-best fantasy outing of the season -- despite missing lead WR Nico Collins. Stroud threw for 318 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT on 30-of-39 passing. That not only reset his season high for passing yardage by 71; it was also his first 300-yard game since Week 4 of last season and just his second since November 2023. The game also produced Stroud's third 100+ passer rating among Houston's past four games, which tells us something about both sides of Sunday's matchup.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud seemed like he was rebounding heading into his team's Week 6 bye. After averaging just 199.7 passing yards -- with 2 TDs and 3 INTs -- over the first three games, he posted consecutive positive outings against the Titans and Ravens. But Stroud's post-bye performance at Seattle looked more like the early version. He completed a season-low 47% of his passes at a season-low 4.7 yards per attempt, throwing for 229 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT on a season-high (by a lot) 49 pass attempts.
