The Facts: Following the Texans' 17-13 win in their preseason finale against the Saints, HC DeMeco Ryans announced Stroud will be the Texans' Week 1 starter against the Baltimore Ravens.

Diehards Line: The Texans were the last team in the NFL to name their starter, but Ryans' reasoning to crown Stroud the starter stemmed from what he's seen since he was drafted, along with his desire to improve. "It's been over the course of the entire process of OTAs, training camp preseason games, just seeing the complete product and knowing CJ's desire to continue to better," Ryans said following the win. The No. 2 pick started each preseason game and went 11-of-18 for 89 yards with one touchdown and one interception in eight series. Stroud joins the other two rookie quarterbacks selected in the top-5 in this year's draft who are also starting Week 1 in Carolina Panthers' Bryce Young and Indianapolis Colts' Anthony Richardson.
