C.J. Stroud Brings QB1 Production Against Vexing Vikings Defense
3 months agoHouston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud faces one of his tougher tests of the season in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Volume and efficiency have been strengths for the second-year signal caller, who is averaging 34 passing attempts and nearly 250 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers through two weeks. Minnesota, however, has been the most disruptive defense in football, compiling nine sacks, four quarterback turnovers and a touchdown while allowing an average of 11.5 points. But with Houston running backs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) both dealing with injuries, Stroud and the passing game likely will have to lead the charge. The Ohio State product remains a clear QB1 based on the passing volume he's likely to draw.
