Expert Note
View More NotesDeshaun Watson is the QB22 in fantasy points per game with two QB1 weekly finishes on the ledger for 2026 (QB10, QB11). Among 34 qualifying passers, he is 18th in yards per attempt, 26th in passing touchdown rate, 17th in passing success rate, 15th in highly accurate throw rate, and 21st in hero throw rate. He has averaged 6.9 rushing attempts and 30.7 yards on the ground with one rushing score. He's a middling QB2 again this week. Over their last five games, Pittsburgh has allowed the 11th-fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-lowest passing touchdown rate, and the eighth-lowest CPOE.
Player News
View More NewsDeshaun Watson completed 25 of his 36 passes for 308 yards and one interception while adding three rushes for 19 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Titans in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Watson did not throw any touchdowns but he contributed on a nine-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The veteran QB only has two touchdown passes over his last four games but he did just enough to get the Browns the win in Week 7, completing a key 36-yard pass to Harold Fannin Jr. late in the fourth quarter to set the Browns up for the game-winning field goal. Watson will be a low-end QB2 in Week 8 vs. the Steelers.
