C.J. Stroud has thrown five passing touchdowns through four games in 2026 while posting zero interceptions and a 95.9 passer rating on 1,141 yards, reflecting strong decision-making and efficiency for the winless Houston Texans. His production rose sharply in Week 4 with the return of wide receiver Nico Collins from a hamstring injury, as Stroud connected for two scores and his highest yardage total of the season against Dallas. The Texans’ struggling run game has forced higher passing volume, though the offense remains inconsistent overall. Stroud faces a favorable Week 5 matchup at Tennessee, a defense that has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in recent weeks, with the remainder of the schedule presenting opportunities for continued volume in a pass-oriented attack.
