CJ Stroud Injury Clouds Texans' Offense Ahead of Jaguars Matchup
Houston Texans' quarterback CJ Stroud was injured during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. He entered concussion protocol after a hit in the second quarter, leaving his status for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars uncertain. If Stroud is unable to play, Davis Mills will step in, potentially boosting his fantasy value as a QB2 streamer in deeper leagues.
Stroud's injury has raised concerns about the Texans' offense heading into Week 10. His precision passing has been crucial for receivers like Nico Collins, who may see a decrease in target share without Stroud. Additionally, running back Nick Chubb's production could also be affected by Stroud's absence.
In the event Stroud misses the game, Mills will take over as he did when Stroud was previously injured against the Broncos. Mills' performance could provide a fantasy boost for those in deeper leagues looking for a streaming option at quarterback.
The Texans face uncertainty at the quarterback position as they prepare to face the Jaguars in Week 10. If Stroud is unable to play, Mills will take the helm, potentially impacting the fantasy value of Texans' pass catchers and running backs. Fantasy managers should monitor Stroud's status closely as the week progresses.
