Stroud projected to miss 4,000-yard mark due to injuries and cold-weather schedule.

The source projects C.J. Stroud will not reach 4,000+ passing yards in 2026, citing injuries in the receiving corps and a rough final stretch. Stroud's indoor/outdoor splits are troublesome, with significant cold-weather outdoor stops in four of Houston's final six games; his struggles outside and in the cold will be tested in 2026.
