Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud will try to lead Houston to its third straight win when he faces an Atlanta Falcons team trying to snap a two-game losing streak on Sunday. Stroud ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,212 yards passing entering Week 5. That’s the second most by a player in his first four games, trailing only Cam Newton, who had 1,386 in 2011. Stroud has thrown six touchdown passes and has set a rookie NFL record by making 151 pass attempts without an interception. Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder is facing criticism after his three turnovers in last week's loss to Jacksonville in London.

Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson did not have a carry in his first game last week but could have a bigger role, including on returns, against Houston.
FANTASY TIP: Productive tight ends are difficult to find. It’s not a shock that a tight end is Atlanta’s second-leading receiver with 15 catches. It is a surprise that player is Jonnu Smith, not Kyle Pitts. Smith led Atlanta with six catches for 95 yards last week and will try for his third straight game with five or more receptions.
