Deshaun Watson

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said QB Deshaun Watson won’t be activated from the PUP list.

Fantasy Impact

This has been the expectation despite Watson being designated to return and being back in practice. It is unclear where he fits in the quarterback plans for Cleveland next season. It will be a situation to monitor in the offseason.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said a decision on activating QB Deshaun Watson to the 53-man roster will be made next week.

Fantasy Impact

Watson has been practicing the last couple of weeks after being designated to return. The deadline to activate him from PUP is next Tuesday.

Deshaun Watson (Achilles) remained limited for another practice session on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The Browns continue to let Watson practice in a limited fashion, although they have no intention of letting him suit up and see any real action over the last few weeks of the season. Rookie Shedeur Sanders will likely close out the season for Cleveland, assuming he remains healthy.

Deshaun Watson (Achilles) was still limited at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The Browns continue to have Watson practicing in a limited fashion, though he is not expected to see any in-game action over the last few weeks of the season. It remains to be seen what they will decide to do with him in 2026.

Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Watson won't be available to play for the Browns on Sunday. He is set to start seeing more work in practice, but he is still not expected to start at any point in the last few games of the season and remains entirely irrelevant for fantasy purposes at this point.
