Stroud's performance last year raised concerns about his trajectory. Targets to Nico Collins had a 62% catchable ball rate last year versus 76% in both 2023 and 2024, and Collins' screen rate dropped from 16% in those two seasons to just 3% last year. The Texans were 32nd in percentage of red-zone drives finishing with a TD (32%), a concerning efficiency metric. However, the source believes Stroud has flashed too much potential to ignore and that it would be a fireable offense for him not to be a top-15 fantasy WR going forward, suggesting confidence in his recovery.
