CJ Stout has looked pretty good this year. like and he's had to be in he threw for another 261 yards today. So, the defense even though it played well, they still threw for a lot of passing yards today. So, I think that's encouraging because that's a question you and I have had is like, well, what will like this passing attack look like whenever the Texans defense is back to like balling out?

Stroud productive with strong defense; 261 yards, 20.9 PPR in Week 5

Stroud posted 20.9 fantasy points and 261 passing yards in Week 5 despite the Texans defense playing well, suggesting the passing attack remains productive even when the defense is strong. He's averaging 240–250 yards per game and currently above that rate, which should support good fantasy games for receivers including Marvin Harrison Jr. Ranked QB13 in EPA per drop-back. Ian Hartitz highlighted a rolling-out-to-his-left touchdown pass to Jaylen Noel as evidence of Stroud's downfield passing ability.
