BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: C.J. Stroud has played all four weeks without his starting guard, center, and right tackle. He's played the last two games without his star left tackle. They have just 210 rushing yards after three games, which is just 70 yards per game. He's been pressured on 30.8% of his dropbacks, which is the third-highest rate in the league. On top of all that, he's just a rookie. Yet, the dude is absolutely balling out.

He's thrown for 242, 384, and 280 passing in respective weeks this season. In back-to-back weeks, he's eclipsed 20 fantasy points and has thrown two touchdowns. As his offensive line gets healthier and as he continues to get more and more comfortable in the NFL, the rookie QB is only going to get better. He has just 35 rushing yards, so his upside is somewhat capped since he doesn't really use his legs, but he's played his way into the streamer category.
