Expert Note
View More NotesDeshaun Watson is the QB21 in fantasy points per game. Watson remains an overrated point guard who is still struggling with accuracy. Among 29 qualifying passers, Watson has the 13th-fewest yards per attempt, the sixth-lowest aDOT, and the fifth-highest turnover-worthy throw rate. Watson also ranks 15th in passing success rate while having the fifth-highest rate of passing yards arising from yards after the catch. Watson helped his fantasy value by adding 7.4 rushing attempts and 33.4 rushing yards per game. Watson is a passable QB2 again this week. Baltimore is 15th in passing success rate and EPA per dropback allowed while holding passers to the 14th-fewest yards per attempt.
Player News
View More NewsDeshaun Watson completed 15 of his 33 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown while adding six rushes for 40 yards in a 17-12 loss to the Jets in Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
Watson fumbled four times, losing one, while taking eight sacks. It was a rainy day at MetLife Stadium, which explains some of Watson's troubles, but he still needed to play better. His lone touchdown pass was a 29-yard strike to Denzel Boston in the fourth quarter. The owner of seven touchdown passes and two interceptions through five games, Watson will look to bounce back at home against the Ravens in Week 6.
