Why It Matters: Stroud is putting up big yardage numbers - this was his second game with at least 347 yards passing in two of his last three - and doing a fine job of not turning the ball over, but he is being asked to do too much with the running game doing next to nothing and the defense surprisingly unable to hold good offenses in check. The 0-4 Texans desperately need to taste victory soon, and they will likely be able to get one against the Titans in Week 5. They will likely need Stroud's right arm to make it happen, so consider him a decent QB2

option.
