Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson being benched isn't under consideration right now, head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Huddle Up: Watson has been the definition of a dumpster fire and the Browns insist on continuing to try and justify his contract when everyone can clearly see it's a disaster. That's apparently more important to Cleveland than actually having a chance to win. Watson remains an afterthought for fantasy purposes and his existence destroys any value Browns pass-catchers could've had.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 15-of-28 passes for 125 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders, while running three times for 14 yards with a lost fumble.
Huddle Up: Watson's struggles aren't all his fault, as he just has no time with a super banged up offensive line. But, he was brought in to be a QB1, and he has fallen well short of expectations, regardless of injuries to other positions. For fantasy purposes, he is best used as a low-end QB2 only in leagues using two starting quarterbacks. The Browns face another NFC East opponent on the road in Week 6 in Philadelphia.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 24-of-32 passes for just 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while adding eight runs for 32 yards.
Huddle Up: Watson was running for his life, as his offense line is banged up, and starting center Ethan Pocic left this game with an ankle injury to make matters worse. For fantasy purposes, Watson is nothing more than a low-end QB2 in leagues of 12 or more teams at this point. The Browns travel to meet the Washington Commanders in Week 5.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 21-of-37 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the New York Giants. He also ran four times for 26 yards with two fumbles lost.
Huddle Up: Watson is paid like a QB1, but he has consistently turned in lines of a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, and even that might be a bit generous. He and the Browns will look to get back on track in Week 4 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson has not had a 300-yard passing game since joining the Browns, and he has gone 14 straight games without topping 300 yards, which is the longest stretch of his career.
Huddle Up: Watson continues to look like a shell of the player that he was in Houston, and despite an appealing matchup with the New York Giants on tap in Week 3, Watson is no more than a low-end QB2.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 22-of-34 passes for 186 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while running five times for 20 yards and a score.
Huddle Up: Watson continues to perform under his salary and fan expectations in Cleveland. For fantasy purposes, he should be considered as a low-end QB2 in most leagues, and he is only a must-start in larger leagues requiring two starting signal callers.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson will start in Week 2, despite the new lawsuit that has been filed against him, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Huddle Up: Watson was the QB18 in Week 1, and he'll remain an option strictly in two-QB leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson will not be placed on the commissioner's exempt list following the latest sexual assault allegation against him, per source on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 24-of-45 passes for 169 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, while adding 39 rushing yards on five attempts.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson restructured his contract Thursday, Aug. 29, to convert $44.79 million of his 2024 base salary into a signing bonus and create $35.832 million in salary cap space, per source. Cleveland now has over $62 million in cap space, which is the most in the entire NFL.
Huddle Up: Watson sat out of the preseason finale due to arm soreness, but he's expected to be a full-go for the season. He's a really meager QB2 option in fantasy best served in two-QB leagues.
