Madden 24: Five best teams to rebuild in Franchise mode
Houston Texans (78 Overall)
Major storyline: Now that you’ve got your quarterback of the future in C.J. Stroud, it’s time to develop him into a superstar and surround him with talent.
The Houston Texans found their quarterback of the future, selecting C.J. Stroud with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Now the fun part begins — building him into a dynasty quarterback. Part of that entails finding him weapons.
Halfback Dameon Pierce (83 OVR) and tight end Dalton Schultz (82 OVR) are your two best weapons on offense. Your job will be to find Stroud an elite wide receiver or two because a 77 overall rated Robert Woods isn’t going to cut it.
The Texans traded their 2024 first-round pick to the Cardinals to land Stroud, but thankfully they still have the Browns’ first-round pick from the Deshaun Watson trade in 2022. Do you focus on getting Stroud a weapon or two on offense, or do you go defense?
