Footballguys on C.J. Stroud

Stroud's 10.2% optimal vs. 4.6% rostered makes him the QB position's biggest value gap.

Stroud lands in 10.2 percent of optimal lineups against 4.6 percent rostered, the biggest gap at the quarterback position and second-most optimal lineups of any QB after Love. He has thrown for 1,714 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception through six games, including 312 yards and three touchdowns against Jacksonville last week. He gets a Giants defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Houston has the second-highest implied total on the slate as a 10.5-point favorite, and the source projects him at about 34 pass attempts, 260 yards, and nearly two touchdowns.
