2023 NFL Predictions: AFC South
Before the start of the season, we will post NFL division-by-division predictions for the 2023 NFL regular season and postseason.
Instead of projecting an outright winner and loser in all 272 regular-season games, we've assigned a win probability to each team in every game and totaled them up.
The four AFC South teams are projected to win the fewest games combined among the four AFC divisions, and only the NFC West is projected to win fewer combined games than the AFC South in our full-season projections.

QUARTERBACKS
Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C.J. Stroud | 524.7 | 327.9 | 3646.7 | 18.89 | 14.17 | 44.3 | 181.6 | 1.33 | 219.23 |
Davis Mills | 33.5 | 21.1 | 224.5 | 1.19 | 0.99 | 5.3 | 14.8 | 0.11 | 13.9 |
C.J. Stroud: Stroud has consistently earned praise from his coaches and teammates throughout the offseason. Unsurprisingly, he's been officially named the Week 1 starter against the Baltimore Ravens. An accurate passer when given time in the pocket at Ohio State, Stroud consistently made plays outside of structure against the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff. He's off the fantasy radar in single-QB redraft leagues, but he should increase the overall efficiency of Houston's offense in 2023.

2023 NFL Power Rankings: Houston Texans
Throughout the 2023 NFL season, we will compile a consensus NFL Power Rankings that averages the rankings of all 32 NFL teams.
Below you will find a Week 3 roundup for the Houston Texans in our consensus 2023 NFL Power Rankings.
ESPN -- Rank: 31
Current contract situation: Under contract through the 2023 season
The Texans gave Nelson a small raise in August but no long-term extension. Through two games, he has an interception and another pass breakup. If he maintains this level of play for the rest of the season, will the Texans extend him before the end of the season or let him test free agency? Allowing him to test free agency could leave the Texans with a void or questions at cornerback going into 2024. -- DJ Bien-Aime
