C.J. Stroud
#7 Active2026 Fantasy Football Player Profile
2025 Season Recap
C.J. Stroud took a real step back in 2025. Just 3,041 yards with 19 touchdown passes and a rough stretch that exposed the offensive line and play-calling issues that have plagued Houston since he arrived. He still led the Texans to the playoffs for a third straight year, which says something about his competitiveness, but this was not the quarterback we saw in his brilliant 2023 rookie season.
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Here is a buy candidate right here. Stroud is the consensus QB24 and he is playing 2026 in a contract year. That matters. The Texans have upgraded the offensive line, Nico Collins is in his prime and is a legitimate WR1, and Stroud has already shown us exactly what he is capable of in a good situation. His 2023 numbers, 4,108 yards and 23 touchdown passes, are the blueprint. If Houston can protect him and call plays that fit his skill set, those numbers are very much achievable again. Contract year motivation is real. We like Stroud as a bounceback candidate at this price.
