Expert
Jacob Wayne Lineups	I'm very worried about the Texans this season and it won't be an easy start for them as they play the reigning champion Chiefs in Week 1. Watson's pass-catching talent took a massive hit when DeAndre Hopkins was traded away and the former All-Pro's absence will be felt all over the roster. Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, and Kenny Stills are an intriguing trio, but you can't really count on any of them to be your #1 guy. I'm fine starting Watson in Week 1 as there should be some garbage time production. As much as I love him as a talent, though, I'm not sure if he can overcome the porous offensive line and lack of pass-catching consistency.
Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros	I'm lower than some on Watson this week. Why? My ranking may seem questionable when you consider that the last time he took on the Chiefs, he threw for 388 yards and two scores -- and he even added another one on the ground. But remember, he also had DeAndre Hopkins then, who accounted for 30 percent of his passing yardage. Without a normal preseason to adjust, it might take some time for Watson to gel with new acquisitions Randall Cobb and Brandin Cooks.
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	Life without DeAndre Hopkins begins for Watson. We don't know what that looks like, as it's never happened. Watson's QB Rating when targeting Hopkins last year? 107.8. When targeting Will Fuller? 96.7. Both are good, but let's not pretend Hopkins didn't draw some coverage away from Fuller and the rest of the receivers. The Chiefs were surprisingly one of the best pass defenses in the league last year, allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, which included just a 3.61 percent touchdown rate, 6.62 yards per attempt, and 60.4 percent completion rate. That's the bad news. What might seem like more bad news is Watson's 280-yard, one-touchdown, two-interception performance against them last year, but there's more to it than the stats. I'm not kidding when I say that Fuller dropped three touchdowns. Watson also played well against them in their playoff loss, totaling 388 yards and two touchdowns, though it did take him 52 attempts to get there. It's hard to gameplan against the Texans right now, as you're unsure what their primary choice of attack will be, though if there's one thing I'll bet on, it's that Watson will run more this year, which raises his weekly floor. In the two games against the Chiefs last year, he rushed for 68 yards and three touchdowns. Start him as your QB1 in what should be a high-scoring game. He's a good tournament option in DFS but play it safe in cash lineups until we see more on how losing Hopkins affects his game.
Derek Lofland FantasyPros	Watson had 688 yards passing, 79 yards rushing, 3 passing TDs, and 3 rushing TDs in 2 games against the Chiefs last year. He should be a solid QB1 in a game that figures to be a shootout.

Chad Henne or Deshaun Watson
