So, Deshaun Watson, guys, he was not good in week one aside from a very nice 50-yard bomb Denzel Boston at the end of the game. He legitimately played good football in weeks two through four... He has back-to-back put two performances on tape... he's taken 13 sacks in his last two games... he's running under the coverage. Like, he's there to have the ball thrown to him, but Watson's not doing it for whatever reason.

Negative signalProjection

Sharp regression with 13 sacks in two games; not throwing to open receivers.

After playing below-average to above-average football weeks 2-4, Watson has regressed sharply with back-to-back poor performances; he's taken 13 sacks in his last two games and is reverting to his 2022-2024 form. Despite leading the NFL with 4 game-winning drives, Ian Hartitz expresses worry about the regression and its spillover effect on the entire Browns offense in fantasy. Additionally, Watson is not throwing to open receivers in coverage—he's running under the coverage rather than delivering the ball, which constrains passing game efficiency and affects dependent pass catchers' upside.
