Deshaun Watson

Watson has been absolutely dreadful this season as the QB26 in fantasy points per game. At this point, I don't trust him in any fantasy lineup or format. He has had countless solid to amazing matchups to this point in 2024, but he hasn't been able to capitalize in any game. Despite the coaching staff's affirmations that Watson is the starting quarterback, we can't rule out that Watson could get benched during a game moving forward. At some point, sanity and common sense have to return to the decision-making for this franchise. Among 35 qualifying quarterbacks, Watson ranks 34th in yards per attempt, 20th in CPOE, 29th in passer rating, and 32nd in fantasy points per dropback. Philly has allowed the 12th-highest yards per attempt, the 14th-highest passer rating, and the tenth-most passing yards per game.

Deshaun Watson completed 15-of-28 passes for 125 yards and one touchdown in the Browns 34-13 loss to the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

Watson also added 14 rushing yards on three carries in the loss. The veteran continues to struggle passing the ball and has not eclipsed 200 yards passing in any game this season. Watson and the Browns will take on the Eagles in Week 6.
