C.J. Stroud is playing well enough to cover up some of the sins. The Texans need to give up on being this run-heavy unit and really lean into the passing game given Stroud's play

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stroud's elite play masking Texans' offensive issues; scheme flexibility key.

Is playing well enough to cover up some of the sins in the Texans' offense, which has four top-seven weekly finishes in the efficiency metric this season. The source has a decently long list of complaints about the unit but notes that Stroud's play is strong enough to elevate the offense. The Texans ranked fifth, 10th and eighth in pass rate over expected from Weeks 4 to 6 but dipped down to 21st in Week 7 before their bye; how they approach this week's game coming back from their bye week will tell us a lot about whether OC Nick Caley is up for changing his stripes.
