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

Sunday, December 28, 6:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence saw his five-game streak with multiple passing touchdowns come to an end on Sunday. Lawrence didn't have great success through the air, but he was still able to get the job done versus the Indianapolis Colts on the road to put the team one win away from locking down the AFC South division. He completed 23 of 37 passing attempts for 263 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Lawrence was able to salvage his fantasy value with two rushing touchdowns and 26 additional yards on the ground. He'll continue to be a strong QB1 option for fantasy managers heading into next week's contest against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. The Jags could clinch the AFC South with a win or a Houston Texans loss to the Colts.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is in a tough matchup on Saturday afternoon against the Chargers, but he has shown enough momentum to still be a strong option in two-QB formats or in deep leagues this week. Stroud only threw for 187 yards and a touchdown last week in a narrow win over the Raiders, but he looked much better with 260 yards and three touchdowns the previous week against the Cardinals. Stroud has led his team to four straight wins since returning from a concussion, and the Texans have won seven straight overall to put themselves in a prime position to make the playoffs. While defense and a conservative offensive strategy have been the main reasons for their success, Stroud has shown enough play-making upside to still be the No. 17 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a solid QB2.
