C.J. Stroud returns to the Texans after suffering a concussion in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
In a pivotal AFC South matchup, the Houston Texans see the return of their starting quarterback. C.J Stroud has cleared the concussion protocol and will start against the Colts after missing the previous three games. While Stroud was unavailable, backup Davis Mills and the Texans’ defense produced, and the team is on a three-game win streak.
Stroud’s third season has had its share of ups and downs. He has recorded 161 completions on 242 attempts for 1702 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. It will be interesting to see if Stroud can hit the ground running and keep the Texans rolling. The team is on the outside looking in on the playoff picture. A win against the Colts would undoubtedly send a message to the rest of the NFL that they are for real.

Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud will miss the Thursday Night Football match against the Buffalo Bills with a concussion.
Despite returning to practice this week, CJ Stroud will miss his third game in a row due to a concussion suffered in the week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. Backup quarterback Davis Mills has kept the team afloat with wins over the Titans and Jaguars. Mills had finished as QB1 and QB9 overall in 4 pt passing touchdown leagues.
Davis Mills has been a serviceable fantasy option the last 2 weeks and faces the Buffalo Bills defense who have been a sieve against opposing offenses. Mills is a great streaming option if injuries or the bye week has left your team needing quarterback help.

Fantasy relevant players ruled out Sunday include Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Joe Burrow, Samaje Perine, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Dalton Kincaid, Jaxson Dart, Darius Slayton, C.J. Stroud, Brenton Strange, Marvin Harrison, Tory Horton, Isiah Pacheco, J.K. Dobbins, Rashod Bateman, Justice Hill, and Sam LaPorta.
Per Adam Schefter
The Houston Texans have ruled out quarterback C.J. Stroud for their Week 11 game against the Tennessee Titans; Davis Mills to start.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will miss his second straight game, backup quarterback Davis Mills will make another start in week eleven against the Tennessee Titans. Last week Mills led a 26 point comeback in the fourth quarter.
Mills threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score. He also kept Nico Collins, seven catches for 136 yards, and Dalton Shultz, seven catches 53 yards and a score, fantasy relevant. Tennessee is not an imposing matchup and Mills has proven he can not only be a solid fantasy option himself but can also support multiple Houston pass catchers.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol, Davis Mills will start against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
C.J. Stroud left the Houston Texans week 9 game against the Denver Broncos with a concussion and will now miss their week 10 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars as he remains in the concussion protocol. In Stroud’s absence Davis Mills will start for the Texans.
Mills is a capable backup and the Houston offense should remain functional. Confidently start Nico Collins and the rest of the Texans skill players shouldn’t see much of a dip in production.
