The Texans are visiting the Chiefs in Kansas City on Saturday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Chiefs are favored by three points and this game presents a total of 41.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite C.J. Stroud prop to consider from this contest.

Best C.J. Stroud Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

C.J. Stroud U 233.5 Passing Yards (-115)

After being named the Offensive Rookie of The Year in 2023, Stroud has endured a sophomore slump this season. After averaging 273.8 passing yards per game and 8.2 YPA a year ago, Stroud is averaging 232 passing yards per game and 7.1 YPA this season. Furthermore, his passer rating has dropped from 100.8 last season to 89.0 this season, which ranks 20th of 34 qualifying quarterbacks.

Stroud has especially struggled on the road, with a 61.5% completion rate, 6.6 YPA and only 202.4 passing yards per game in his seven road starts this season. Stroud has topped 233.5 passing yards in three of these seven road games, but these two of these outings came against the Jaguars and Cowboys, who are giving up the most and second-most yards per pass this season, respectively.

Stroud is back on the road again this Saturday and he is in a tough spot, going against a Chiefs defense that is giving up the 10-fewest yards per pass this season (6.5).

Only one of the last six quarterbacks to face the Chiefs in Kansas City has eclipsed 233.5 passing yards and Stroud should fall short of this number Saturday.
