Summer is the best time to evaluate dynasty assets and their place in the dynasty market. In this series, we will bring you a riser, faller, and longshot from each NFL team. We’ll cover dynasty values, positional trades, and overall team outlooks. Let’s jump into the Texans! Riser: CJ Stroud , QB Stroud's dynasty value took a significant hit following a disappointing 2025 season. While expectations were sky-high after his historic rookie campaign, Houston's offense struggled with injuries, offensive line issues, and inconsistent playmakers throughout much of the year. Those challenges appear to have pushed many dynasty managers away from Stroud despite the fact that he remains one of the league's most talented young quarterbacks. At just 24 years old, he's still firmly entrenched as the face of a Texans team built to contend for championships. Current Market Value Courtesy of DLF’s ADP Over Time App . Stroud currently sits at QB20 with an ADP of 160.1. In 1QB leagues, quarterbacks naturally slide down startup boards, but Stroud's valuation feels closer to his floor than his ceiling. Dynasty managers appear focused on last season's disappointing fantasy finish rather than the long-term outlook of Houston's offense. If he returns to the form that made him one of the most valuable young quarterbacks in dynasty just two years ago, his current price could prove to be a bargain. SUBSCRIBE TO DLF PREMIUM!
