Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) ruptured his Achilles again and could miss the entire 2025 season, according to sources Friday, Jan. 10.
Huddle Up: Watson was three months into rehab on the initial torn Achilles so this is likely going to keep Watson from being an option in 2025. The Browns hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft so there's a chance they could focus on the quarterback position.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn Achilles, which will delay his recovery. It's too early for a timetable, however, according to Browns general manager Andrew Berry.
Huddle Up: Watson wasn't a great fantasy option next year before this setback. Stay tuned, but he's unlikely to be more than a two-QB league option.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson should expect competition in the form of "any veteran with starter's talent" this offseason, according to a team source.
Huddle Up: The "working theory leaguewide" is that the Browns will hold on to Watson for one more year and force him to win the job this summer by competing against another veteran or draft pick. It seems likely that Kirk Cousins will be among the veterans considered if he becomes available as expected, while Sam Darnold will likely be too costly for a team that already has Watson's enormous salary on the books. Cam Ward and Shadeur Sanders are widely considered the best quarterback prospects in the draft and will also be given plenty of consideration.

The Cleveland Browns are expected to bring in competition for QB Deshaun Watson for the 2025 season, through free agency, the draft or both, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) could possibly play for the Browns again, according to general manager Andrew Berry.
Huddle Up: Watson's contract is widely viewed as one of, if not the worst, in the league. That's a cloud that will remain over the team's head. Watson won't be a tantalizing fantasy option coming off an Achilles injury following years of futility on the field.

Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) had an MRI confirm a torn Achilles Monday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: He's out for the season, and eyes turn to Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who left with a finger issue as well. It's not believed to be serious, and he's not a serious fantasy option outside of two-QB leagues.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) is believed to have suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a non-contact injury in the second quarter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday, Oct. 20, that Watson would go for further testing just to make sure. To make matters worse, QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson suffered a finger injury, so QB Jameis Winston finished up.
Huddle Up: With Watson all but done, it appears that Winston might be the starting signal caller in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, although the situation is certainly fluid. Either way, the Cleveland offense is sure to be a mess, even more so than it has been to date.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered an Achilles tendon injury during the Week 7 game and has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: It appeared to be a serious injury, and Watson could be out for the rest of the season. It is not known if Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Jameis Winston will be the starter moving forward, but neither will be more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.
