From the article

Stroud is another 2023 draftee finding his footing in 2026. Through Week 6, he's passed for 1,714 yards, second only to Matthew Stafford. His average target is traveling 9.2 yards downfield, the fifth-highest in the league. His 32 deep attempts tie Aaron Rodgers for the league lead. Despite these numbers, Stroud has thrown only one interception. The trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. last week shows the Texans are pushing chips in on this newfound passing attack.

Stroud's 1,714 yards and deep-ball volume support QB1 production.
