Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Spencer Rattler

Wednesday, November 5, 3:39 PM

When asked about Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud's (concussion) status for the Week 10 divisional contest this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach DeMeco Ryans said, "I do not see C.J. playing this week," according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Stroud suffered a concussion in the first half of the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and did not return, and he also did not practice on Wednesday while in the league's concussion protocol. It sounds as though Stroud will miss one game and hopes to return next weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Week 11. With Stroud likely to be inactive against the Jags, backup Davis Mills is in line to make his first start of the year. The 27-year-old signal-caller went 17-for-30 for 137 yards passing with no touchdowns or interceptions in relief of Stroud last week against Denver. Mills will be a low-end QB2 streamer, at best, in superflex leagues this weekend.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has been benched during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rattler threw three interceptions last week and wasn't having much more success this weekend. He completed 15-of-21 passing attempts for 136 yards with an interception before being pulled in the second half of this game. Tyler Shough has taken over under center for at least the rest of this game. Given the Saints record, it wouldn't be shocking if Shough got a chance at the starting gig in the second half of the season.
