From the episode

Stroud at 17 or fewer fantasy points in his first three games of the season. Now he's picked it up lately, but he's capped out at 23. He hasn't even, he hasn't cleared that number. So you haven't seen a super high ceiling. He's cleared two passing touchdowns once this season. He's not doing much with his legs though, which is a problem. 67 yards... The last two years, he's been outside the top 22 in fantasy points per game at quarterback.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud's 23-point ceiling and limited rushing upside make him a Giants-only streamer.

Stroud scored 17 or fewer fantasy points in his first three games, has capped out at 23 points this season, and has only two top-six fantasy weeks so far; he's cleared two passing touchdowns just once; he's not contributing with his legs (67 rushing yards); historically outside top 22 in fantasy points per game at quarterback the last two years; Express Delivery views him as a one-week streaming option against the Giants, not a long-term starter.
