C.J. Stroud took the NFL and fantasy football worlds by storm as a rookie, throwing for an impressive 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns while earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. He also finished with 276 fantasy points, which was good enough to rank ninth among quarterbacks. Stroud even averaged more points per game than Patrick Mahomes.
That rookie success created a lot of hype around Stroud in 2024 fantasy drafts, especially after the Texans added Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs to what was projected to be one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. In fact, Stroud was a top-eight quarterback based on ADP data.
