C.J. Stroud's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was unstoppable in the team's 45-14 blowout win in the Wild-Card Round against the Cleveland Browns. Making the first postseason start of his career on Saturday, Stroud showed no playoff jitters as he completed 16-of-21 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns. The rookie led Houston down the field for three first-half scores, including a 76-yard touchdown to Brevin Jordan early in the second quarter. Stroud will look to carry that momentum in the Divisional Round next week.

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud will make his postseason debut against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Stroud will enter the playoffs following a spectacular rookie season in which he threw for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns, and five interceptions. But he'll draw a tough matchup in the first round of the playoffs. The Browns have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, which makes Stroud a risky play in daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests. The Browns have also only allowed two quarterbacks to throw for over 250 pass yards and two touchdowns over the past 10 weeks.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud led a key fourth-quarter drive to secure a playoff berth in the team's 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud was almost perfect on Saturday, completing 20-of-26 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie started the game on fire after connecting with Nico Collins for a 75-yard touchdown on Houston's first offensive snap. He then led a 12-play, 73-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. Stroud will look to carry that momentum into the playoffs next week.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is looking to carry his team to the playoffs in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud is coming off a modest performance, throwing for just 213 yards and one touchdown in his first game back from a concussion. But a better game could be in store for the 22-year-old rookie. In Week 2, he threw for 384 yards and two touchdowns en route to a 21.5-point fantasy day against this Colts' secondary. With many star quarterbacks sitting out this weekend, Stroud is a strong option in Week 18.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned from his two-game absence against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17, completing 24 of 32 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also took one sack and added four rushing yards. While the rookie didn't have a huge game in this outing, he played turnover-free football while mounting six scoring drives and leading Houston to a divisional win late in the season. Fantasy managers should view him as a low-end QB1 option against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.
