C.J. Stroud is a Fringe QB2 in Kansas City

Saturday, December 6, 7:45 AM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud got a big win over the Colts in his return from a concussion last week, and he'll be in another huge matchup this week against the tough Chiefs' defense on Sunday Night Football. Stroud completed 22 of 35 passes for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in last week's win, but looked very sharp overall, even though his fantasy numbers weren't huge. One encouraging sign is that he did have 35 pass attempts, continuing the team's recent trend of throwing the ball more during their current winning streak. If that trend continues again this week, Stroud has good upside if he can convert touchdowns. He's the No. 21 QB in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, making him a low-end QB2 that does bring potential upside despite his tough primetime matchup.

Jayden Daniels Will Play Again This Season

Sunday, December 7, 4:43 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is still expected to play again this season despite exiting Sunday's Week 14 contest with an injury. Head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels could have returned to the game, but the team decided to exercise caution and hold him out. He also noted that Daniels will return this season, and he won't be shut down. "It's an important development time for him," Quinn said. Injuries have plagued the 24-year-old in his second pro season, as he has missed part of eight different games. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants, giving the Commanders an opportunity to bounce back from this weekend's 31-0 loss against Minnesota. If Daniels can't suit up, Marcus Mariota will step in as the Commanders' No. 1 quarterback.
