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.

Bryce Young an Intriguing Start in Week 10 Versus Saints

Friday, November 13, 3:05 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young rebounded in Week 9 in a matchup against the Broncos that was tough on paper, finishing as the QB6 after posting QB18 and QB24 finishes the previous two weeks. Young finished the day with 28 completions for 276 yards and three touchdowns, bringing his passing touchdown total to 17 on the year. This performance makes Young all the more intriguing in his Week 10 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints, whose defense ranks 14th in fantasy points per game given up to opposing QBs and has allowed 255.6 passing yards per game. They have also allowed 18 or more fantasy points to QBs in three of their last four matchups. The Panthers' offensive line has been struggling with injuries, but it still enabled Young to perform well last week. The Saints' defense has a lower pressure rate than their Week 9 opponent, sitting at 19th in the league, which could once again give Young room to make plays. He is a borderline top-12 QB play this week and can be comfortably started as RotoBaller's QB13.
