From the article

I was saying that throughout training camp. That doesn't mean he's also a good decision-maker, as evidenced by him throwing the same interception on the first drive last week that he threw all of camp, but he does seem a bit more sure about pulling the trigger. Good or bad, that should lead to some decent statistical days, like last week, even if the play itself is utter crap. In other words, you can be right about him sucking, but also take advantage of the eventual stat padding via the air (over 175.5 passing yards).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Watson projected over 175.5 passing yards despite poor play quality due to increased trigger confidence.

The source projects Deshaun Watson over 175.5 passing yards in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Reasoning: While acknowledging Watson's poor decision-making (he threw the same interception in Week 1 that he threw throughout training camp), the source notes Watson appeared less tentative in the opener and seems more sure about pulling the trigger. The source argues that even though Watson's play quality is poor, his increased willingness to throw should lead to decent statistical days and stat padding via the air, making the over 175.5 passing yards a favorable prop bet.
