2024 Pass/Rush Projections
Announces move to NFL
Stroud announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Ohio State to enter the 2023 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
In a decision that comes as little surprise, Stroud will make the leap to the professional ranks and is expected to contend with Alabama's Bryce Young and Kentucky's Will Levis for being the top quarterback selected in April's draft. After taking a redshirt during his first year in Columbus in 2020, Stroud stepped into a starting role following Heisman Trophy finalist Justin Fields' move to the NFL and ensured the Buckeyes offense didn't miss a beat. Over his two seasons as a starter, Stroud completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 8,123 yards, 85 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. With Stroud embarking on a professional career, the Buckeyes have Kyle McCord on hand as the top internal option to replace him as the team's starting quarterback in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Justin Fields left big shoes to fill going into 2021 and Stroud answered the bell by completing 72 percent of his passes at 10.1 YPA with 44 passing scores. He doesn’t offer as much as a runner as Fields did and it’s worth noting that he loses Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, but Stroud can still take another step as a passer and he still has our fantasy WR1, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, at his disposal. Stroud’s elite passing production outweighs the lack of rushing stats and makes him one of the few worthwhile quarterback targets in the first round of drafts.
