Expert Note
View More NotesDeshaun Watson is the QB13 in fantasy points per game with at least 19.7 fantasy points in two of his four starts. Watson has averaged 7.8 rushing attempts and 31.8 rushing yards to help pad his ceiling and floor weekly in fantasy. Watson continues to operate as a low-aDOT point guard. Among 29 qualifying passers, Watson has the 11th-most yards per attempt and the ninth-highest passing success rate, but he also has the lowest aDOT, the second-highest percentage of his passing yards arising from yards after the catch, and the tenth-highest turnover-worthy throw rate. Watson should have another serviceable QB2 outing this week against a pass defense that has given up the sixth-highest passing success rate, the 13th-most EPA per dropback, and has ranked 17th in CPOE.

Fantasy Impact
Watson continues to surprise pretty much everyone with his mostly effective play during the Browns' current three-game winning streak. He did throw one pick and coughed up a fumble, but Watson also led a game-winning drive in the final two minutes after the Steelers came back from 11 down in the fourth quarter. Watson had completed 69.6% of his passes on the season, averaging better than 210 yards per game with a 6-2 TD/INT ratio. He has also rushed for 127 yards on 31 carries.
