The Jags' defense is second in the league in EPA per dropback allowed on the heels of an elite pass rush. When pressured, Stroud has simply gone hyper-conservative this year. He is averaging 4.8 YPA when pressured, which ranks 26th out of 37 qualified quarterbacks.

Negative signalMatchup

Stroud faces elite Jags pass rush and becomes hyper-conservative when pressured.

Stroud's usable fantasy weeks could end in London against the Jaguars, who rank second in EPA per dropback allowed with elite pass rush (10th-highest pressure rate despite below-average blitzing). When pressured, Stroud has been hyper-conservative, averaging 4.8 YPA when pressured (26th of 37 qualified QBs) and currently holding the eighth-highest pressure-to-sack rate.
