Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Drake Maye

Friday, September 26, 7:24 PM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will look to get the offense in gear in a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Titans. Stroud and the Texans have slipped to 0-3 coming into Sunday's matchup with the 0-3 Titans. The offense has seemed stuck in neutral under new offensive coordinator Nick Caley, ranking 29th in the NFL in yards per game at 267.3. and 25th in the league with 172.3 passing yards per game. Stroud has thrown for right around 200 yards in each game with a total of two touchdowns and three interceptions. The offensive line is definitely part of the problem, but Stroud has also struggled. Facing the Titans could be a nice "get right" spot for Stroud. The Titans rank 25th in the league in DVOA against the pass and have allowed 31.3 points per game, the third-highest mark in the league. Stroud is the QB17 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, making him a strong QB2 play in the matchup, even though he's still not a good option at all for single-quarterback leagues.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 pass attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 4 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for 11 yards and another touchdown on the ground. The 23-year-old has quietly produced one of the strongest starts to the season among all NFL quarterbacks, racking up nine touchdowns, 98 rushing yards, and just two interceptions. He ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy points through four weeks, trailing only Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes II. That's an elite class of quarterbacks, so Maye's presence among such a talented group is a testament to the strong four weeks he's had. He has entered must-start territory as a mid-range QB1 entering next week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
