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.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (undisclosed) was carted off the field after suffering an undisclosed injury during the Week 7 game.
Huddle Up: It was a non-contact injury for Watson and appears to be a serious injury, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. Dorian Thompson-Robinson was the No. 2 quarterback this week, but players should see if he or Jamies Winston will be the starter if Watson misses more time. Neither quarterback is more than a No. 2 fantasy QB.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson will remain the starting quarterback following the team's Week 6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Huddle Up: Watson is far from the only problem in Cleveland right now, but he hasn't endeared himself to fans or fantasy owners, either. He shouldn't get anywhere near your lineup at this point.
Posted: 10/13/2024 7:51 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson went 16-for-23 for 168 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He also rushed for 17 yards on four carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Watson has been held to under 200 passing yards in every game this season and failed to record a passing touchdown for the second time this season. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues until he is more productive on the field.

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.
