C.J. Stroud News
Wednesday, May 6, 10:18 AM
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has been locked in this offseason and is focused on ways to improve after a second straight disappointing campaign in 2025. ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime reports that Stroud made a noticeable change to his diet to slim down this offseason, avoiding sugars and carbs. The Texans picked up Stroud's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, but 2026 will be a prove-it year to convince the team that he deserves a long-term extension. Photographs on Instagram that Stroud has shared in the weight room show a more shredded and slimmed-down version of himself. The former second overall pick out of Ohio State was a Pro Bowler in his first NFL season in 2023, throwing for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 15 regular-season starts, but he hasn't come close to those numbers the last two seasons, and he threw for a career-low 3,041 yards and 19 TDs in 2025. The 24-year-old hasn't always been helped by the offensive line in front of him, but he appears determined to turn things around, and a bounce-back campaign could be coming if second-year wideouts Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel can step up behind WR1 Nico Collins. Target Stroud as a QB2 with upside in fantasy drafts this fall.

Cameron Ward News
Friday, April 24, 6:01 AM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward is fresh off a rookie season in which three of his four leading pass-catchers were also rookies, and with the selection of Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, his surrounding cast has only gotten younger and more dynamic. Tennessee spent big in free agency to acquire former Giants receiver Wan'Dale Robinson on a 4-year, $70 million deal following a 92-catch, 1,014-yard campaign in 2025. They are also expecting a return to health from veteran Calvin Ridley, who managed only 7 games before a broken fibula ended his season, but whose 43.3 receiving yards per game led the team. While leaning on the youngsters, Ward showed marked improvement down the stretch of his rookie season, throwing 10 of his 15 touchdowns from Week 11 onward, while adding both of his rushing scores. The Titans have seven picks remaining after making two selections on the first night of the draft. If they can address an offensive line that ranked as one of the least efficient in 2025 pass protection, Ward should continue making strides into Year 2, and Tennessee's offense as a whole could be among the league's most improved.
