C.J. Stroud News
Saturday, October 10, 3:06 AM
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is still trying to get his team its first victory of the season, and he is in a good spot to post solid stats this week against the Titans in Tennessee. With the run game often bogging down, Stroud has had to throw more this season, averaging 37.8 attempts per game with over 30 pass attempts in three of his four games. He have five touchdowns and no interceptions this season, while averaging 285.2 passing yards per contest. The Titans have allowed four passing touchdowns in four weeks to opposing QBs and an average of 220.5 passing yards per game. Last week, Lamar Jackson looked excellent against them in the first half before leaving with an injury. The Titans have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to QBs this season, but in a desperation game, Stroud is the No. 14 QB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 5, making him a fringe starter in single-quarterback leagues and a very strong QB2 in dual-QB formats.

Caleb Williams News
Friday, October 9, 9:29 PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The third-year signal caller hasn't been active since injuring his hamstring in Week 2's 9-3 loss to Minnesota. Friday was Williams' first practice in any capacity since then. While Williams' hamstring health is unknown after only a limited session, he'd be in an excellent position to succeed against a Packers pass defense that's been a mixed bag this year. The real risk is that if he plays at less than full strength, he could lose much of his ability to create outside the play's design. Owners should keep a close eye on Williams' status right up until kickoff, as he'd be worth considering for fantasy if active. If he isn't, teammate Tyson Bagent, who was named the team's starter for Sunday earlier in the week, would take the helm against the Packers.
