A fter a bumpy season from this Houston Texans offense last year, quarterback C.J. Stroud has faced a good bit of questions and concerns about not only how things could pan out in terms of his production last season, but also his standing as one of the league's better young signal callers entirely.

The NFL began its seventh week of the "NFL Top 100" on Monday. This week, players 31-40 will be revealed, and players Nos. 39-40 kicked off the week. Player No. 39 is yet another player the Arizona Cardinals will face as an opponent in 2025.

After a rookie campaign that put him into the NFL’s elite conversation, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, now ranked No. 39, has seen his ranking drop by 19 spots in the 2025 NFL Top 100.
