Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Xavier Legette

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a decent if unspectacular performance in a 27-19 loss to Kansas City, completing 23 of 39 passes for 244 yards to go with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 23 yards on two carries. The sophomore quarterback threw touchdown passes to tight end Dalton Schultz and wide receiver Tank Dell, but the two picks were a drag on the day, and he failed to hit 300 passing yards for the 10th straight game as Houston's offense can't quite seem to take the next step. Stroud and the Texans will have a quick turnaround with a Christmas Day game against a struggling Baltimore pass defense in Week 17.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, Legette won't play after being considered week-to-week, according to head coach Dave Canales. There is only three games left in the season, so we'll see if Legette is able to get on the field again this season. For now, Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quad) figure to serve as the primary wideouts. However, Coker (quad) and fellow wideout David Moore (concussion) are considered questionable for this game. Deven Thompkins could end up seeing an expanded role, but he won't be a recommended streaming option. If active, both Coker and Moore have low-end flex appeal for this Week 16 matchup.
