Breece Hall highlights the Jets' Week 9 stock report

๐Ÿ“‰ Print from the front
While the Jets rank 6th in the NFL with 23 sacks, their pressure numbers have dropped. Entering Week 8, the Green-Whites had the third-highest pressure rate (40.1%) in Weeks 1-5 and No. 14 (37.7%) in Weeks 6-7.

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

๐Ÿ“‰ Injuries to the Texans WRs
The Texans are struggling with injuries at wide 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 miss Thursday. Houston ranked first in passing yards per game in Weeks 1 through 5 with Collins in the lineup, but has been sidelined since then.

The Texans' No. 2 receiver, Stefon Diggs, acquired in a trade in the offseason, suffered a torn ACL last Sunday. Second-year player Tank Dell, who was on pace to surpass 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie last season before breaking his leg, is now CJ Stroud's main target. Dell has 24 receptions, 229 yards and 2 touchdowns this season after totaling 709 yards and 7 scores on 47 catches in his first season.
