Expert Note
View More NotesDeshaun Watson is the QB23 with no weekly finishes higher than QB15 since Week 2. Watson has continued to play horribly. I think it's only a matter of time for him to be benched, but the fact that the Browns are winning on the back of their defense will continue to buy him more starts. Among 33 qualifying passers, Watson is 16th in yards per attempt and passing success rate, but he has the eighth-lowest aDOT, the tenth-highest off-target rate, and the eighth-highest turnover-worthy throw rate. Watson also has the third-highest pressure to sack rate with the 15th-lowest EPA per dropback. Fortunately for Watson, the Titans' secondary has been horrible, so he could post decent QB2 numbers again this week. Tennessee has allowed the 11th-most yards per attempt, the eighth-highest passing success rate, and the second-highest CPOE. The Titans also have the eighth-lowest pressure, so Watson should see clean pockets this week.
Player News
View More NewsCleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 16 of his 26 passes for 164 scoreless yards in a 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. He added eight carries and 29 yards on the ground.
Fantasy Impact
Watson has led the Browns to an AFC North-leading 4-2 start, including a 3-0 record at home. Week 6 was his first without a touchdown and his third game in the last four weeks with fewer than 175 passing yards. The Browns' offense has not been high-octane, and Watson has provided the fantasy output of a QB2.
