Start

C.J. Stroud is a low-end QB1 this week. That adds up to 33 pass attempts, 288 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception and 15 rushing yards in our projection. The scoring for Stroud depends on finding the end zone. This is a tough draw, since Cleveland has given up the 8th-fewest points to quarterbacks. He should be in your lineup this week.
