C.J. Stroud is tuning out the noise ahead of Year 4
C.J. Stroud, QB for the Houston Texans, is heading into his fourth season without a new contract extension and says the outside chatter is not rattling him. "I focus on me. I can't control [social media], so why would I care? Of course I'm human. I learned if some people had the opportunity to be me, they would," Stroud told ESPN.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud "handled himself tremendously" through the offseason and training camp, per ESPN.
What this means for fantasy managers
The lack of a contract extension is the one thing worth watching here. It does not change Stroud's starting role or his standing as a top fantasy quarterback option, but it introduces background noise that could become relevant later in the season. His opener against the Buffalo Bills will be an early read on where he stands.
If you rostered Stroud last season, hold. Nothing in this report changes your calculus before Week 1.
