Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 14 of 23 for 169 yards with a touchdown pass and his first touchdown run in a Week 18 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Stroud, who did not play after halftime, had an 11-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and added a 2-yard run in the period to put the Texans up 20-10. Stroud finished the season playing a career-low 14 games, and his 19 TD passes were also a career low. He hasn't lived up to his rookie season when he threw for over 4,000 yards, and he's a risky QB1 in most fantasy formats, but he's a definite in two-QB leagues heading into 2026.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 16-for-28 for 244 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Stroud had a great start to the game but was not able to find the same success as the game went on. He has thrown at least two touchdowns in only two of the last six games but can still be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues next week.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 22-of-29 passes for 260 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he ran six times for 10 yards.
Huddle Up: It was just Stroud's fourth game with multiple TD throws, and his second game with three or more scoring strikes, in a game this season. He has 260 or more passing yards in three of his past five games, and is slowly re-emerging as a dependable fantasy option when the matchup is favorable.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 35 for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Stroud, who cleared the concussion protocol Friday, was playing his first game in four weeks after leaving the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. His 276 yards passing in this one was his second-most this season, and Sunday was the second time in games he's finished that he didn't toss a touchdown. Stroud is a low-end QB1 but preferred QB2 in most formats.
