C.J. Stroud Lights Up the Stat Sheet in Week 9 Win

Sunday, November 8, 4:49 PM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 21 of his 35 pass attempts for 384 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also rushed for 20 yards. Stroud had one of the best games of his career against a Chargers squad that dropped to 0-8 in 2026. The 25-year-old has quietly put together a dominant five-game stretch in which he has 14 total touchdowns and just two turnovers. He has been a very polished passer in general this year, totaling 16 passing touchdowns and just two interceptions since the start of the season. Stroud has momentum on his side, and he should be deployed as a low-end QB1 with additional upside in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Bo Nix News

Bo Nix Is a Week 9 Superflex Start

Saturday, November 7, 6:50 AM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is a QB2 for Sunday's game at Carolina, where the Panthers will be without cornerback Will Lee III (hamstring) and edge rusher Jaelan Phillips (hamstring). Neither practiced Friday. Carolina gave up 288 yards and 3 touchdown passes to Jordan Love on 41 attempts in Week 8 without recording a sack. Nix has shown some improvement through the air, throwing for 222 yards in each of his last two games after being held to 107 and 123 in the previous two. He threw 2 touchdown passes against Kansas City last week and accounted for 2 scores at Arizona in Week 7, including a 62-yard touchdown run. He has 114 rushing yards and 2 scores on the ground through eight games, which helps in Superflex when his passing volume is modest. RotoBaller's weekend rankings have him at QB17. Carolina makes him a reasonable bye-week fill-in in deeper one-quarterback leagues, though his 6.0 yards per attempt this season still leave him dependent on touchdowns or a productive day as a runner.
