Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or C.J. Stroud

Sunday, November 2, 9:18 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence did not have his best day as a passer in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. However, Lawrence saved his fantasy production by logging 24 yards and two touchdowns on nine rush attempts. Across eight starts this season, the 26-year-old has now thrown for 1,840 yards, nine touchdowns, and six picks. His rushing ability may currently be the most consistent part of his game, as he's run for 137 yards and four touchdowns on 39 attempts. Lawrence and the Jaguars have a very difficult matchup in Week 10 when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was ruled out for a third straight game in Thursday night's contest against the Buffalo Bills, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Stroud was very close to being cleared this week. Rapoport said that had this week's game fallen on Sunday instead of Thursday, Stroud likely would have played for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. He is doing well and was cleared for limited participation in Tuesday's practice. Stroud likely would have upgraded to full participation on Thursday if they didn't have a game, so the expectation is that he'll be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play in Week 13 on Sunday, Nov. 30, against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Davis Mills is making his third straight start against Buffalo and is hoping to lead the team to their third straight victory.
