NBC Sports Rotoworld on C.J. Stroud

Texans' low implied total and Bills' elite pass defense limit Stroud's Week 1 upside.

Vegas doesn't expect the road-tripping Texans to put up many points; the Raiders, Colts, and Panthers are all projected to outscore them. The Bills were a top-10 pass defense last year by both fantasy points allowed and EPA per play allowed. Even a likely negative game script won't fuel Stroud to a volume-laden day, as Houston ranked 20th in pass rate when trailing last year.
