4 Takeaways From the Texans' Win Over the Chargers

Two early TD strikes Stroud completed 16 of 28 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers. He added four rushes for zero yards.

Impact Stroud accounted for his most impactful production during Houston's first two possessions, delivering touchdown strikes of 75 and 43 yards while completing four passes combined for 142 yards. In addition to struggling to move the offense thereafter, Stroud threw two picks -- the first of which led directly to a Chargers' field goal. It was a mixed performance overall for Stroud, who accounted for multiple touchdowns for the second time in five matchups since returning from injury, but also turned the ball over multiple times for the first time since Week 3.

Plays role of game manager Sunday Stroud completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 187 yards and a touchdown while gaining no yards on four rush attempts in Sunday's 23-21 victory over Las Vegas.

Impact Stroud failed to follow up last week's three-score outing with another strong fantasy performance in Week 16. The 23-year-old returned to his game-manager style of play where he protected the football and did just enough on offense to secure victory for Houston. The Ohio State product's modest totals resulted in him failing to extend his streak of throwing for 200 or more yards to four games. Stroud's low ceiling in fantasy makes him a middling option for Week 17 in a road matchup against the Chargers.
