Deshaun Watson

Watson is the QB17 in fantasy, thanks to his rushing. He has averaged 29.5 rushing yards with one rushing touchdown. Without that, he would be a bottom-five fantasy quarterback that would be commensurate with his level of play. Among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, Watson is 32nd in yards per attempt, 30th in passer rating, and has the 12th-highest off-target throw rate. I don't have any faith after last week in Watson's ability to take advantage of a plus matchup, but he gets another chance this week against a porous Giants' secondary. New York has allowed the fifth-highest yards per attempt, the sixth-highest passer rating, and the fourth-highest CPOE.

Deshaun Watson completed 22-of-38 passes for 186 yards in the Browns' 18-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also ran five times for 20 yards and a score.

Fantasy Impact

Watson wasn't particulary accurate after starting out hot in this game, and his passing yardage left much to be desired. A win is a win and he salvaged his day with a rushing touchdown, but Watson is a streaming quarterback at best at this point.
