STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson's Week 2 win featured career-best EPA per dropback and 80% completion with conservative scheme.

Watson earned his first win since September 2024 in Week 2 against Tampa Bay with a risk-averse winning formula; he posted his lowest average depth of target (3.7) of his career and 6.7 air yards per attempt (tying a career low), limiting turnover potential while enabling young playmakers to get the ball in their hands. His EPA per dropback in the game was his best statistical performance for Cleveland, and he completed 80 percent of his passes with 2 touchdown passes. The source notes Watson clearly did enough to keep his job for another week and that growing confidence may have germinated in Cleveland's QB1 following the performance.
