Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Stroud suffered the injury when sliding in a Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Davis Mills will once again lead the offense as they face off with a Titans team they defeated 26-0 earlier this season. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz (shoulder) last week, but Schultz could be in danger of missing this weekend's game, as he has yet to practice this week. Another name to watch in Week 11 is rookie Jayden Higgins, who hauled in five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown last week.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and was not active in last Sunday's comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old is still in the league's concussion protocol and hasn't practiced this week, so all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Stroud was still experiencing some concussion symptoms earlier this week. With a short week coming up next in Week 12 on Thursday Night Football versus the Buffalo Bills, it's possible Stroud could be looking at missing three straight games. Backup Davis Mills surprisingly threw for almost 300 yards against the Jags, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to need to attempt 45 passes against Tennessee.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud is still experiencing concussion symptoms after sitting out the Week 10 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which does not bode well for his status for this Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans. Backup Davis Mills did not look very good leading Houston's offense in Stroud's place for three quarters last Sunday, but then he miraculously led the team to an improbable comeback in the fourth quarter, finishing 27-for-45 passing for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Mills' spirited effort could convince them to play it safe with Stroud going forward, especially in a very winnable game against Tennessee. As of right now, it's looking like fantasy managers will be without Stroud again this weekend.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is making progress through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of Week 11. Stroud suffered the injury on a hard hit in Week 9 and was unable to clear protocol in time for last week's matchup. In his absence, backup Davis Mills led the Texans to one of their best offensive performances of the season, throwing for 312 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stroud's status will be worth monitoring throughout the week as Houston prepares for a divisional showdown with the Tennessee Titans. If Stroud returns, he'll look to regain form and fend off any conversations of a quarterback controversy following Mills' strong outing.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud suffered a concussion early in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't cleared to play in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old still has time to work his way through he concussion protocol, but he's not guaranteed to return this week when the team has another divisional game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans could lean toward holding Stroud another week, too, after backup Davis Mills nearly threw for 300 yards in an impressive comeback win on Sunday. We'll have a better idea of Stroud's Week 11 status once the Texans release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will be out in Week 10 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Backup Davis Mills will make the start with Stroud still in the concussion protocol following his head injury in the first half of the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. The Texans will hope that the 24-year-old Stroud can make enough progress in the league's concussion protocol to be cleared to play in another divisional clash next week against the Tennessee Titans. Stroud being out in Week 10 will make the Jaguars' defense/special teams unit a popular streaming option. This will be Mills' first NFL start since his second year in the league in 2022. He went 17-for-30 passing for 137 yards with no touchdowns or picks in relief of Stroud last week. Consider him a low-end QB2 streaming option in superflex leagues this Sunday.

When asked about Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud's (concussion) status for the Week 10 divisional contest this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach DeMeco Ryans said, "I do not see C.J. playing this week," according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Stroud suffered a concussion in the first half of the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and did not return, and he also did not practice on Wednesday while in the league's concussion protocol. It sounds as though Stroud will miss one game and hopes to return next weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Week 11. With Stroud likely to be inactive against the Jags, backup Davis Mills is in line to make his first start of the year. The 27-year-old signal-caller went 17-for-30 for 137 yards passing with no touchdowns or interceptions in relief of Stroud last week against Denver. Mills will be a low-end QB2 streamer, at best, in superflex leagues this weekend.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was not available for the team's Wednesday practice, leaving him in doubt for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars. Stroud left Sunday's loss to the Broncos after being hit while sliding. Davis Mills will be tasked with quarterback duties if the 24-year-old QB is unable to play. Mills completed 17 of 30 passes last week for 137 yards. With the question marks at quarterback, fantasy managers should proceed with caution when considering Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz in starting lineups this week. The Jaguars defense has allowed the second-most points to tight ends and 12th-most to wide receivers this season.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is in the league's "concussion protocol," and the team will continue to evaluate him more throughout the week, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. Stroud suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday's Week 9 loss to the visiting Denver Broncos and was unable to return. The 24-year-old finished 6-for-10 passing for 79 yards while adding 12 rushing yards on two carries. Davis Mills took over under center and was unable to lead the team to a touchdown in the three-point loss. Stroud will now hope he can clear the NFL's concussion protocol to play on Sunday versus the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. In his third year in the league, he hasn't been much more than a high-end QB2 for fantasy managers, throwing for 1,702 yards, 11 touchdowns, and five interceptions on 242 pass attempts over eight games.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos. He was initially listed as questionable and entered concussion protocol before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed six of 10 pass attempts for 79 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also picked up 12 rushing yards. Davis Mills entered in his place and will remain the Texans' quarterback for the rest of Week 9. The Stanford product could also earn the start next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Stroud isn't able to clear concussion protocol within the next seven days.
From RotoBaller
The Houston Texans said that quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after taking a big hit to his head in the first half. The Texans' franchise QB will be evaluated in the meantime, but he looked clearly shaken up as he walked off the field. If Stroud is unable to return, backup Davis Mills will play in his absence. Graham Mertz is the emergency third quarterback. At the time of his exit, Stroud had completed 6 of 10 passes for 79 yards and also run twice for 12 yards.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has shown positive signs in several of his last few games, with multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games. However, this week, he and the Texans have a tough matchup against the Broncos, who have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Stroud will get some help, though, with both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) set to return to the lineup. This could be a statement game for the Texans, who are looking to climb back into the playoff race after their 0-3 start. Stroud led them to a 26-15 win last week against the 49ers, throwing for a season-high 318 passing yards despite being without Collins and Kirk. While he has a high ceiling, the matchup makes him high-risk, which is why he's only the QB22 in RotoBaller's Week 9 rankings.
From RotoBaller
Texans' QB C.J. Stroud scored 25.90 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 8 win against the 49ers. Stroud threw for 318 yards on 30-of-39 with two touchdowns and one interception. It's the 2nd time this season Stroud scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has played some of his best football in recent weeks. Across his team's last three games, Stroud has thrown for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. Perhaps most importantly for his fantasy outlook, Stroud has attempted 88 passes over his last two games alone. That marks a notable shift in the Houston offense, as Stroud cracked 28 pass attempts just once over his first five games. If the Texans' game plan on offense is shifting to a more pass-heavy approach, Stroud could be a more viable streaming option for fantasy managers in single-quarterback formats going forward. Houston has a difficult matchup in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, so Stroud may not be a player to target specifically for this week. However, his uptick in pass attempts is still a trend worth monitoring for fantasy managers as the Texans hit the second half of their season.
