C.J. Stroud’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He has no injury designation this season; his last missed games came after a concussion in Week 9 of 2025, which cost him three games.

In the 20-6 Week 2 loss to Cincinnati, Stroud threw for 353 yards on 55 attempts with no interceptions, and SI noted he was the first quarterback to pass for 350-plus yards without an interception while his team scored fewer than 10 points. He also led Houston in rushing that day with 29 yards, per CBS Sports.

Fantasy Action: Treat Stroud as a volume-driven QB2 and streaming option in 12-team leagues. His passing volume gives him a steady floor, while his touchdown upside rises and falls with the health of Nico Collins and Houston’s receiver room.
