From the episode

Houston has just not done a good job of putting an offense around him conducive to high-end fantasy points since his rookie season. And that could change in the future. But I kind of need to see it change with CJ Stroud at this point before I'm really going to bet on him to, you know, finish as even a fringe QB1 or anything like that.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Houston's offensive scheme under D'Amico Ryans is conservative and run-focused, limiting Stroud's passing volume and high-scoring game opportunities despite bringing in David Montgomery to emphasize the running game.
