Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to the field in Week 13 after missing three games with a concussion and completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 276 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception against the Indianapolis Colts. Across nine games this season, Stroud has completed 66.1% of his pass attempts for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions. However, the Texans have turned to a much more pass-heavy approach in recent weeks. Over his last three full games, Stroud is averaging 41 pass attempts per contest. The high-volume approach gives Stroud an opportunity for fantasy production every week, even if Houston's offense struggles to be efficient. In deeper fantasy leagues, Stroud could be a solid streaming option at the quarterback position heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be ready to rejoin his team this week in a huge road game against the Colts. Stroud has missed the last three games since departing in Week 9 with a concussion against the Broncos. Davis Mills led the team to three straight wins, and they're 6-5, sitting on the edge of playoff contention. Stroud threw for 1,702 yards in his eight games with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. In his last full game, he looked very effective with 318 passing yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers. He was inconsistent in some of his early games this season and took some time to adjust to new offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system. However, he started to show off his upside just before his concussion, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in this important matchup on Sunday. He's the No. 20 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a low-end QB2 for this week against the Colts.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will return to the field in Week 13 when the Texans face the Colts in a divisional clash. With Stroud sidelined since exiting a Week 9 loss to the Broncos, the Texans have reeled off three straight wins with Davis Mills at the helm and put themselves right back in the race for the AFC South crown. While the defense has been the main catalyst for the late-season surge, receivers Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins have enjoyed arguably the best three-game stretches of their respective seasons. With that success appearing to come on the heels of a philosophical offensive shift, rather than just a quarterback change, both players should see continued involvement. Collins is RotoBaller's WR 11 for the week, while Higgins remains in flex consideration in deeper leagues against a Colts defense that still ranks as below average against the pass, despite recent improvements.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) logged another full practice on Thursday. It was the second straight day Stroud was a full participant. Stroud cleared concussion protocol and is expected to return against the Indianapolis Colts after a three-game absence. He will likely log another full session on Friday, and the final injury report should determine Stoud's official status for Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old has been solid this season, throwing for 1,702 yards, 11 touchdowns, five interceptions, while rushing for 189 yards on 29 attempts. Stroud can be used as a streamer in his first game back since Week 9, but is more of an option in superflex leagues heading into this week.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is practicing on Wednesday and continues to take steps toward being cleared from concussion protocol this week, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Stroud has missed three consecutive games since taking a shot to the head during Houston's Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. The third-year quarterback remained in concussion protocol to begin the week, but the Texans are hopeful that he will return in Week 13 for a big divisional matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud was playing well before going down, throwing for 318 yards in Week 8 against the 49ers, his first 300-yard game since Week 5 of last season. He would be back in play as a potential streamer in Week 13 if he is able to play.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud has been sidelined since he suffered a concussion during the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. He remained in concussion protocol to begin the week, but the organization is optimistic he'll be ready to go this weekend. If he plays, Stroud should immediately return to having viable streaming value. During his last full game, Stroud threw for over 300 yards with two touchdowns. The 24-year-old should creep into the QB1 conversation, assuming he's cleared to play this weekend.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after last seeing action in a Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The Texans have won three straight contests with Davis Mills under center, but head coach DeMeco Ryans made it clear on Monday that Stroud will reclaim the starting position once he clears protocol. There was optimism in the building that he could have returned in Week 12, had it not been for a short week of preparation to face the Bills on Thursday night; however, he will still need to progress through protocol this week to have a shot at starting against the Colts on Sunday. Texans number one receiver Nico Collins had turned in stellar fantasy performances in Mills' first two starts, but in a Thursday night win propelled by the team's smothering defense, he caught only three passes for 55 yards and was kept out of the endzone. The Colts represent a plus matchup in Week 13, making Collins a must-start regardless of the team's quarterback situation, while a healthy Stroud re-enters the streaming conversation.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was ruled out for a third straight game in Thursday night's contest against the Buffalo Bills, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Stroud was very close to being cleared this week. Rapoport said that had this week's game fallen on Sunday instead of Thursday, Stroud likely would have played for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. He is doing well and was cleared for limited participation in Tuesday's practice. Stroud likely would have upgraded to full participation on Thursday if they didn't have a game, so the expectation is that he'll be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play in Week 13 on Sunday, Nov. 30, against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Davis Mills is making his third straight start against Buffalo and is hoping to lead the team to their third straight victory.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss Thursday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, but is expected to return in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Stroud won't be able to suit up with a short week of preparation, but the extra time off will ensure that the 24-year-old will be cleared and ready to roll for a big divisional matchup against the Colts in Week 13. Backup Davis Mills will make his third straight start, and he's been solid in Stroud's absence, completing 60% of his passes for 726 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Mills is only worth starter consideration in superflex leagues for Week 12.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss his third straight game when the Texans face the Bills on Thursday night. Stroud was expected back at practice on Tuesday, so he might have been able to return to action if the team had been playing on Sunday. However, on a short week of preparation, the team will once again turn to Davis Mills. Mills has thrown for 283 yards per game in his two starts, while adding three touchdowns to one interception, and Nico Collins has enjoyed arguably the best stretch of his season with Mills under center. In what projects to be a game that could see Houston playing from behind, Collins remains a must-start, and Davis Mills at least deserves consideration in superflex leagues.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is expected to practice on Tuesday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol and is "not slated" to play in Week 12 on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, a source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Stroud is doing a lot better, though, and is trending toward returning for a Week 13 date against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts next weekend. The 24-year-old is likely to be listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report. Stroud suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and is now on track to miss a third straight game due to his head injury. It means that Davis Mills is set up to make a third consecutive start for Houston. Mills has won two straight games in place of Stroud and has thrown for 566 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick on 86 pass attempts. He's certainly in play as a low-end QB2 streamer in Week 12 versus Buffalo on Thursday Night Football.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. There are still two days left for Stroud to make his way through the NFL's concussion protocol, but things are trending toward the 24-year-old missing a third straight game for the Week 12 game on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. The Texans will probably hold him out on a short week and hope that he can clear the concussion protocol next week and play against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Davis Mills has gone 2-0 and thrown for 566 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception as the replacement for Stroud. He'll be a low-end QB2 streaming option again on Thursday if Stroud is ruled out by Wednesday.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback C.J. Stroud (head) is still in the league's concussion protocol, according to Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle. Stroud's status for the upcoming Thursday night contest against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12 is currently unclear. "We'll see how the week goes," Ryans said. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games after suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos, and it seems more likely than not that he will miss a third straight game on a short week. We'll keep a close eye on his practice status this week, but fantasy managers should be prepared for Stroud to miss another game. If he doesn't get cleared for Thursday, his next chance to play would be in Week 13 against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Backup Davis Mills has led Houston to two straight wins with Stroud sidelined.

ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is not guaranteed to clear concussion protocol by the time the team lines up for their matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 12. Stroud suffered a concussion in Week 9, and he's now been officially ruled out for a second consecutive contest. As it stands, he could miss another, considering Houston's quick turnaround this coming Thursday. The third-year pro may be able to get right before his contest with the Bills, although it's currently looking like teammate Davis Mills has a significant chance to lead the team for a third game in his absence. Fantasy managers should monitor Stroud's status over the coming days.
