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.

Caleb Williams' Four Picks Nearly Spoil an Early Lead

Sunday, November 8, 7:09 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 279 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and four interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also rushed for 16 yards in the victory. Williams said that four turnovers are the most he's ever recorded in a single game across the high school, collegiate, and professional ranks, and he vowed to clean up the mistakes going forward. The 24-year-old had just one turnover coming into this week, so perhaps we can chalk up Week 9 as a fluke for the former No. 1 pick. We do feel confident in Williams remaining a solid QB1 option on the other side of his Week 10 bye, but he may have a slightly lower floor if Luther Burden III (concussion) is forced to miss extended time.
