From the episode

I thought Stroud once again played pretty well. I don't think I'd be using him outside of Superflex when there's no Nico Collins, but Stroud was mobile.

Mentioned at 34:08 – 34:18

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Stroud played well but not Superflex-worthy without Collins.

Stroud played pretty well in Week 2 without Nico Collins, showing mobility and scrambling in meaningful spots for rushing yards; however, the source would not use him outside of Superflex when Collins is out.
