C.J. Stroud A Full-Go Wednesday

By Jared Smola | Updated on Thu, Nov 27 2025 1:31 AM UTC

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he'll start this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Indianapolis ranks 21st in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs but is a tougher matchup after adding CB Sauce Gardner and getting CB Charvarius Ward back. With Houston implied for just 20.25 points, Stroud is only in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
