Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young

Friday, November 28, 8:51 PM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be ready to rejoin his team this week in a huge road game against the Colts. Stroud has missed the last three games since departing in Week 9 with a concussion against the Broncos. Davis Mills led the team to three straight wins, and they're 6-5, sitting on the edge of playoff contention. Stroud threw for 1,702 yards in his eight games with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. In his last full game, he looked very effective with 318 passing yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers. He was inconsistent in some of his early games this season and took some time to adjust to new offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system. However, he started to show off his upside just before his concussion, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in this important matchup on Sunday. He's the No. 20 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a low-end QB2 for this week against the Colts.

Bryce Young is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 13. In Week 12, the Carolina QB logged 10.3 fantasy points and one passing touchdown. He also completed 18-for-29 attempts for 169 passing yards and threw two interceptions. In the past four weeks, Young scored less than 11 fantasy points in three games and surpassed 200 passing yards only once. Carolina faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The Rams rank fifth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season. The Rams' pass defense has also registered 12 interceptions, which is the third-most in the league. Due to the unfavorable matchup against Los Angeles and underwhelming fantasy totals on the year, Young should be benched in all formats. Fantasy players should consider an alternative if available in Superflex leagues.
