C.J. Stroud clears concussion protocol, on track to start Sunday for Texans
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to start in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
What It Means:
Stroud was cleared by an independent doctor and is on track to play after missing the last two games with a concussion. He will be a significant upgrade for the offense over Case Keenum.
Stroud is the QB7 in numberFire's Week 17 rankings and our models project him for 18.4 FanDuel points, with 263.3 passing yards, 1.68 touchdowns, 0.7 interceptions, 2.8 carries, and 11.5 rushing yards.
