Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Jayden Daniels

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should mostly be kept to Superflex duty as his team takes on the solid Tennessee Titans defense in Week 12. The Ohio State product has had an up-and-down second season, ranking a disappointing 17th among fantasy quarterbacks after his breakout rookie campaign. Part of the struggle has been pass protection, as Houston has allowed the third-most sacks in the league. Tennessee, despite its 2-8 record, has allowed the fewest air yards in the league and has been a competent defense. Stroud has his top playmaker back in receiver Nico Collins, but with this matchup, managers in 1QB formats should be weighing their other possible options.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be set up well for a bounce-back showing against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. Over his past two games, Daniels has posted the two lowest fantasy scores of his standout rookie season. During this stretch, Daniels has tallied just one score and averaged a mere 196.5 passing yards per game. However, before this, Daniels scored at least 20.0+ PPR points in all but one contest this season. Removing his Week 7 game, where he left early, Daniels has averaged a strong 25.3 PPR points per game during Weeks 3 through 9 and scored 11 total touchdowns during this span. Facing a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the 28th-most PPR points to opposing QBs sets the LSU product up for a great "get-right" matchup, making him a solid QB1.
