Texans QB C.J. Stroud still in protocol

Nov 24, 2025

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud’s status hasn’t changed since last week.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Stroud was injured in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Broncos and has missed the last three games.

Fantasy Impact:

The next update on Stroud’s progress will come with Wednesday’s practice. Stroud had returned to practice last week but the Texans played on Thursday and it wasn't enough time for Stroud to be ready. Stroud still has a chance to play in Week 13, and the story went on to say when Stroud is cleared he will get the start. Mills has started all three games when Stroud was out, and the Texans have won all three.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) back at practice

Terry McLaurin was back at practice today too, Quinn said.

Fantasy Impact:

Jhabvala pointed out that today's practice was more of a jog-through, but it still seems like good news. McLaurin made the trip overseas the last time we saw the Commanders in action, but didn't play, so that hope is McLaurin is trending in the right direction. The bad news is, it's going to be a tough matchup against the Broncos if he plays, and we also reported earlier today it will be Marcus Mariota under center in Week 13 as well.

Buccaneers plan to ramp up WR Chris Godwin's usage

Todd Bowles said WR Chris Godwin came out of last night's game fine and the plan is definitely to ramp up his usage in the next game.

Fantasy Impact:

Still, Godwin will be tough to trust, so perhaps the wait-and-see approach is the best one to take with Godwin. Godwin played on 35% of the snaps in Week 12, which was a loss to the Rams, and had just two catches for nine yards. Baker Mayfield is dealing with a shoulder injury and his status is up in the air for Week 13, so that further complicates things for fantasy owners as far as putting Godwin in your lineup.

Raiders HC Pete Carroll says that he believes RB Ashton Jeanty's late-game ankle injury is not severe.

Fantasy Impact:

When asked if there is a chance the injury would limit him in practice this week, he said "I haven't heard that it would yet. It sounds like there's a chance that he'll be ok," the post went on to say. While it sounds encouraging, owners will want to monitor the situation as the week goes on. If Jeanty can't go, Mostert and White would likely see work. The Raiders take on the Chargers in a later Sunday game in Week 13.
