Breece Hall highlights the Jets’ Week 9 Stock Report

Pressure in front
While the Jets are 6th in the NFL with 23 sacks, their pressure numbers are down. Entering Week 8, the Green & White had the third-highest pressure rate (40.1%) in Weeks 1-5 and the no. 14 (37.7%) in weeks 6-7.

Texans star QB CJ Stroud is used to playing under duress and was pressured on 40.7 percent of his dropbacks, which is the fourth-highest mark in the NFL. Stroud was pressured on a career-high 57.5 percent of his dropbacks against the Colts last Sunday and completed 11 of 21 passes (52.3 percent) under pressure for 148 yards and a touchdown.

Injuries for Texans WR
The Texans are struggling with injuries at receiver. Nico Collins, who led the NFL with 567 receiving yards before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5, was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 9 and will be ruled out Thursday. Houston ranked No. 1 in passing yards per game in Weeks 1-5 with Collins in the lineup, but has since been sidelined.

Receiver no. 2 Texans Stefon Diggs, who was acquired in an offseason trade, suffered a torn ACL last Sunday. Second-year running back Tank Dell, who was on pace to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie last season before breaking his leg, is now CJ Stroud’s top target. Dell has 24 receptions, 229 yards and 2 touchdowns this season after totaling 709 yards and 7 scores on 47 carries in his first season.
