C.G. Stroud's last three games, he had five fumbles versus the Steelers, four interceptions versus the Patriots, and then two fumbles last week versus the Bills...now they're playing the Cincinnati Bengals, who forced four turnovers last week...he is the biggest variance of any quarterback in the NFL this year in terms of range of outcomes.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud faces Bengals with highest QB variance risk; turnover issues compound against elite pressure defense.

Stroud has the biggest variance of any quarterback in the NFL this year in terms of range of outcomes; he's had five fumbles in his last three games (five vs. Steelers, four interceptions vs. Patriots, two fumbles vs. Bills including a game-ending strip), and now faces the Bengals who forced four turnovers last week including three against Baker Mayfield. The source notes that if Stroud has a horrific season, there's a world where the Texans consider replacing him, though a great quarterback is still in there.
