From the episode

CJ Stroud is seventh in pass attempts in the entire NFL...they're trusting CJ Stroud, even though everybody on the internet was telling you that he's not worthy of playing...I'm going with CJ Stroud. I think that this is the season that we were promised in 2024...he has a big enough chip on his shoulder and it's bag season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stroud's seventh in NFL pass attempts; favorable late schedule supports ascension narrative.

CJ Stroud is seventh in pass attempts in the entire NFL despite the Texans being perceived as a run-first, defense-focused team; the offense is trusting him more than expected. The speaker believes this is the promised 2024 season for Stroud after a delayed start, citing his young quarterback trajectory and current ascension. Stroud has favorable late-season matchups: Week 14 at Commanders, Week 15 vs. Jaguars (potential shootout), Week 16 vs. Philadelphia (falling apart), and Week 17 vs. Green Bay (not stopping competent offenses). The Texans' inability to run the ball effectively means continued high pass volume rest of season.
