Houston @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Bengals 26.5, Texans 20.5
Fresh off setting NFL rookie records with 470 yards passing and five touchdowns in Week 9 against the Bucs, OROY lock C.J. Stroud visits the Bengals having demonstrated teammate-elevating capability via a lightning-quick delivery, anticipatory ball placement, and advanced offensive execution. Missing Nico Collins (calf) hurts, but Cincinnati has yielded the NFL’s ninth-most fantasy quarterback points and sixth-most yards per pass attempt (7.1). Stroud is low-end QB1 playable here. … Dameon Pierce (ankle) will miss another game. In his Week 9 absence, Devin Singletary banked 15 touches on a 75% playing-time clip. No. 2 back Mike Boone (26%, 1 touch) wasn’t a factor against the Bucs. With Cincinnati playing middling run defense, Singletary is a volume-driven RB2/flex with a non-compelling box-score ceiling.
Stroud’s 2023 target distribution: Collins 53; Dalton Schultz 49; Tank Dell and Robert Woods 43; Noah Brown 20; Pierce 12; Singletary 11. … Collins’ removal from Houston’s passing game has big implications considering he leads the team in targets and Air Yards share (27.5%).
