Texans QB C.J. Stroud leaves with possible head injury vs. Jets

Sun Dec 10 3:56pm ET
Field Level Media

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud left Sunday's game at the New York Jets and is in concussion protocol to be evaluated for a possible head injury.

The star rookie was on the receiving end of a hit by the Jets' Quinnen Williams, during which Stroud's head snapped back and hit the ground as he went down.

Stroud was able to walk off under his own power, according to the CBS broadcast. He went into the blue medical tent for evaluation, and from there he headed back to the locker room without his helmet, signaling he was done for the day.

Davis Mills entered the game in Stroud's place.

The Texans trailed 24-6 with less than seven minutes to play at the time of Stroud's injury.

The No. 2 overall draft pick last spring, Stroud entered the week as the league leader in passing yards (3,540) to help Houston to a 7-5 record entering Week 14. He was 10-for-23 for just 91 yards before exiting the game.

Another top-three draft pick, Will Anderson Jr., picked up an ankle injury and was questionable to return.

Player Notes
C.J. Stroud Dec 10 4:10pm ET
C.J. Stroud

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He is being evaluated for a concussion and is officially questionable to return. Given that the Texans were losing by three scores when he departed, it seems likely that his day is done. If so, the rookie finishes with just 10 completions for 91 yards, plus four sacks and a fumble.

William Gholston

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman William Gholston (knee) is officially questionable to return against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He exited early in the fourth quarter. At the time of his departure, he had registered one tackle.

Blake Cashman Dec 10 3:50pm ET
Blake Cashman

Houston Texans linebacker Blake Cashman (hamstring) and cornerback Tavierre Thomas (hamstring) have been ruled out for the remainder of Week 14 versus the New York Jets. Cashman had three tackles while Thomas had zero. Jake Hansen and Ka'dar Hollman should earn more snaps at linebacker and cornerback, respectively.

Kentavius Street Dec 10 3:50pm ET
Kentavius Street

Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Kentavius Street (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had three tackles and one sack at the time of his departure. Albert Huggins should earn more snaps until the 27-year-old can return.

Dawson Knox Dec 10 3:40pm ET
Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after being activated from IR on Saturday. Given that Dalton Kincaid has emerged as the Bills' clear No. 1 tight end, Knox can't be trusted in fantasy football.

Samaje Perine Dec 10 3:30pm ET
Samaje Perine

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (knee) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite missing practice Friday and being listed as questionable, the expectation as that Perine would play. Indeed, the veteran will suit up, using his pass-catching skills to rank as a high-end RB4 in PPR leagues.

From RotoBaller

Maxx Crosby Dec 10 3:20pm ET
Maxx Crosby

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Minnesota Vikings. Although the star defender had been listed as questionable after practicing just once this past week, he was trending in the right direction ahead of gameday. Crosby has 66 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and one forced fumble this year. He remains a top option in IDP fantasy leagues.

Elijah Mitchell Dec 10 3:10pm ET
Elijah Mitchell

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. This is hardly a surprise considering he missed practice all week long and was officially listed as doubtful. Christian McCaffrey remains the clear-cut No. 1 option and is the only 49ers running back worth rostering fantasy football. Jordan Mason will back him up but isn't a reliable fantasy option.

Nico Collins Dec 10 3:00pm ET
Nico Collins

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He exited in the first quarter after catching just one pass for 13 yards. This is tough news for the Texans after they placed Tank Dell (leg) on IR earlier this week. Dalton Schultz (hamstring) is also out, leaving Houston with Noah Brown, John Metchie III, Robert Woods, and Brevin Jordan as its top pass-catchers.

Drew Lock Dec 10 3:00pm ET
Drew Lock

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) has been ruled out for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable and was trending in the wrong direction as gameday drew nearer. Drew Lock will start in his place but lacks fantasy appeal given his previous struggles and a very tough matchup against the Niners. DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will all see their fantasy values take a hit, too.

Kenneth Walker III Dec 10 3:00pm ET
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are active for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. Both players had been listed as questionable. Walker makes his return after missing two games. He has shown immense promise when handling a full workload but could have a reduced snap share as the Seahawks phase him back into action. Nevertheless, the second-round back is worth deploying as an RB2 in fantasy football. Charbonnet will also earn some touches, but he isn't on the fantasy radar.

D'Wayne Eskridge Dec 10 3:00pm ET
D'Wayne Eskridge

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) is officially active for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 26-year-old opened the year with a six-game suspension and has just one target (zero receptions) since returning. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Ryan Neal Dec 10 2:50pm ET
Ryan Neal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Ryan Neal (hip, back) exited during the first half of Week 14 versus the Atlanta Falcons. He is officially questionable to return. The 27-year-old registered four tackles before his departure, bringing his season total to 70. Dee Delaney should earn more snaps for the duration of Neal's absence.

Tutu Atwell Dec 10 2:40pm ET
Tutu Atwell

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (head) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and is being evaluated for a concussion. He took a concerning upper-body hit and was in visible pain. At the time of his departure, he had one target and zero catches. Davis Allen and Demarcus Robinson should see more opportunities in his absence.

From RotoBaller

Jaire Alexander Dec 10 2:40pm ET
Jaire Alexander

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the New York Giants. He had been a limited participant in practice this week, so it's somewhat surprising to see the Packers rule him out prior to gameday. Nevertheless, it'll be Corey Ballentine and Keisean Nixon registering more snaps in his absence.

Desmond Ridder Dec 10 2:10pm ET
Desmond Ridder

Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews (knee) injured his knee during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return. The Falcons were already missing two starting offensive linemen in Kaleb McGary and Drew Dalman so losing Matthews adds to the misery. It could be tough sledding for Falcons QB Desmond Ridder the rest of the way. The team should provide an update on Matthews following the game.

Kyle Hamilton Dec 10 2:10pm ET
Kyle Hamilton

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He's evidently healthy enough to play despite exiting during the second quarter, going to the locker room, and briefly being listed as questionable. The 22-year-old entered Week 14 with 62 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions, and one forced fumble.

Mack Hollins Dec 10 2:00pm ET
Mack Hollins

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins (ankle) injured his ankle during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return. Hollins did not record a target before exiting the ball game. The Falcons should provide an update on Hollins' status at halftime.

Kyle Hamilton Dec 10 1:50pm ET
Kyle Hamilton

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a knee injury. Hamilton injured his knee during the second quarter and went to the locker room. It would be a big loss to the Ravens' secondary if he's unable to return to the game. The Ravens should provide an update on Hamilton's status soon.

From RotoBaller

Nico Collins Dec 10 1:30pm ET
Nico Collins

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) is questionable to return for Sunday's Week 14 game against the New York Jets with a calf injury. Collins injured his calf during the first quarter of Sunday's contest and went to the locker room. He had one catch for 13 yards before exiting the game. The Texans are already missing Tank Dell (leg) so a potential Collins injury would severely affect Houston's passing game. The team should provide an update soon.
