C.J. Stroud Practices Fully

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (thigh) practiced fully on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has taken a beating over the last few weeks, which likely contributed to his thigh issue. But his participation in Wednesday's session is an excellent sign regarding his availability for Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. Stroud is well on his way to winning this year's Rookie of the Year award, tossing for 3,266 yards, 19 touchdowns, and five picks. He's also found the end zone three times as a runner. Nonetheless, assuming Stroud doesn't suffer a setback in the next few days, fantasy managers can start the signal-caller with confidence versus a weak Broncos defense.

The Texans made Tytus Howard a key component of their offseason, handing the fifth-year offensive lineman a lucrative extension.

Tytus Howard Expected To Miss Rest Of 2023 Season

Houston Texans offensive lineman Tytus Howard (knee) is expected to be out for the remainder of the 2023 season after suffering a knee injury in Week 12. The 27-year-old signed a three-year, $56 million extension this offseason. He suffered a broken hand in the preseason, causing him to land on Injured Reserve to start the year. The former first-round pick will now look ahead to next year, and the Texans will need to piece the offensive line together to protect rookie stud quarterback C.J. Stroud.

C.J. Stroud Totals Three Scores In Week 12 Loss

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud continued his strong rookie season in the team's 24-21 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Stroud completed 26-of-36 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 47 yards and one touchdown in the game. The rookie was able to do it all on Sunday, especially with his legs. His 47 rush yards were a career-high as he logged his third rushing touchdown since Week 8. Stroud also crossed the 300-yard passing threshold for the fourth straight week and the sixth time this season. He'll look to continue his hot streak next week at home against the Denver Broncos.

C.J. Stroud A Strong QB1 Option In Week 12

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is almost a must-start in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie signal-caller is coming off another solid fantasy day, where he totaled 18.3 fantasy points behind 336 passing yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. The interceptions were a problem for Stroud last week, but he has a strong chance to bounce back in a great matchup on Sunday. Jacksonville is allowing the 10th most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Stroud also threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns against this same Jaguars team back in Week 3. That performance seems like a nice fantasy floor for the 22-year-old in this matchup.

C.J. Stroud Throws Three Interceptions In Week 11 Win

It wasn't the most efficient game for Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who threw three interceptions in the team's 21-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Despite the three interceptions, though, Stroud still put up solid numbers in the victory. He completed 27-of-37 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns. With another 300-yard passing performance, the rookie has now thrown over that mark in three straight contests. He'll look to continue his strong season next week at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

C.J. Stroud A Must-Start In Week 11

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud continues to impress in his rookie season and is a must-start in fantasy in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Stroud is coming off another solid game where he threw for 356 yards and totaled two touchdowns (one rushing) last week. That now marks back-to-back contests where the rookie has thrown for over 350 yards in a game. During this two-game stretch, he also has scored a combined 61.8 fantasy points, which is the second highest among all players. Now, Stroud will face a Cardinals secondary that allows the ninth most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. He's a strong QB1 play this weekend.

Stroud completed 23-of-39 passes for 356 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The rookie also ran in an eight-yard score early in the fourth quarter to extend Houston's lead. Outside of a costly interception late in the game, the Texans quarterback was almost flawless again. Stroud has now thrown for 2,626 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just two interceptions in his first season. He'll look to continue his strong play in Week 11 at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

He will look to carry that momentum on the road next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

C.J. Stroud A Low-End QB1 In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has struggled in recent weeks, but enters a Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking to get back on track. Stroud has thrown for just 588 yards and three touchdowns over the past three games while failing to top 16 fantasy points in all three contests. It appears opposing defenses have adjusted to the rookie's play. However, the 22-year-old quarterback will have a favorable matchup this weekend, facing a Buccaneers defense that has allowed a top-four quarterback finish in two of the last three weeks. That makes Stroud a low-end QB1 in Week 9.

Stroud completed just 16-of-24 passes for a season-low 140 yards while running two times for 13 yards and one touchdown in the contest. The rookie quarterback wasn't at his best on Sunday, and it marked the first time since Week 1 that he didn't throw a passing touchdown in a game. Stroud hasn't been as sharp through the air in recent weeks and has seen his passing yards decrease in three straight games. He'll look to rebound at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9.

The rookie has finished as a top-12 quarterback in three of the past four weeks while throwing for at least two touchdowns in four of his last five games. The matchup isn't the best for the rookie, facing a Panthers defense that allows just 197.8 passing yards per game. However, Carolina has allowed six passing touchdowns over the past two games, which makes Stroud a strong QB1 play in all formats.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 13-of-27 passes for 199 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. It wasn't the most efficient start from the rookie in Week 6. He also ended his NFL streak for most pass attempts (192) without an interception to begin a career with his first quarter pick. But Stroud did hold his own in the victory. The Texans quarterback threw his first touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz in the first quarter and then connected with veteran Robert Woods late in the second to extend Houston's lead. Stroud will head into the Week 7 bye with 1,660 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has exceeded all expectations in the early going. But he faces a hard challenge in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints come in as the fourth-best defensive passing unit through five weeks, which could spell trouble for Stroud's fantasy value this Sunday. He will also likely be down one of his top wideouts in Tank Dell (concussion) for the contest. The rookie quarterback has thrown for 1,461 yards and seven touchdowns through five games. He'll enter Week 6 as a risky start in one-quarterback leagues and a solid QB2 in Superflex formats.

He'll draw a tough matchup facing a Falcons defense that has allowed just 16.3 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2023. But Stroud and the Texans offense is on fire right now, so it'll be hard to sit him in Week 5. He's a solid quarterback start in 10-plus team leagues.

The Texans designated him to return from IR on Wednesday, and he returned to the practice field. The 27-year-old signed a three-year, $56 million contract extension this offseason and should provide additional pass protection for rookie C.J. Stroud, who has gotten out to a hot start.

Stroud has been dealing with a painful right throwing shoulder, but he said he's making strides and will be able to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "I feel blessed, I feel good," Stroud said. "Football is a physical sport and that's what I signed up for, but my body is fine. I'll be all right." The first-round rookie will remain a low-end QB2, but he's creeping up the ranks after his first two games and gets a vulnerable Jags defense on the road in Week 3.

Stroud's blind-side protector for a Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

The Houston Texans placed starting right tackle Tytus Howard (hand) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so he will be forced to miss the first four games of the 2023 regular season. Howard is currently in a cast after having hand surgery, and his absence early in the season is definitely notable for the Texans' offense that will be run by rookie first-round quarterback C.J.
