From the article

Stroud isn't the reason why. If anything, he's the main reason they have been in three of the four games until the end. The running game is a non-starter, so this offense is going to run through Stroud, which will make him a high-floor QB1 for fantasy now that Nico Collins is back, especially in good matchups like this week vs. Tennessee.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Stroud high-floor QB1 with Collins back; Texans offense runs through him.

Stroud is a high-floor QB1 waiver option despite the Texans' 0-4 record; he is the main reason the team has been in three of four games until the end. The running game is non-functional, so the offense will run through Stroud, especially with Nico Collins back. Tank Dell's return window is opening this week, adding receiving depth. Stroud may still be available on waiver wire in short bench leagues and has favorable matchups like Week 5 vs. Tennessee.
