Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Deshaun Watson

PodcastThe 10 Biggest Fantasy Takeaways from Preseason Week 2 with Dwain McFarlandAugust 24, 2026

From the episode

In 19 career starts with the Browns, 13 fantasy points per game. I like this stat. Among 50 quarterbacks with at least 500 or more pass attempts since 2022, Deshaun Watson is 48th in yards per attempt and 36th in touchdown rate.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson is a low-end QB3 with poor efficiency and limited rushing upside

Matthew Berry and Dwain McFarland are both low on Deshaun Watson (QB31 and QB32 respectively), citing his poor 13 fantasy points per game average over 19 starts with the Browns and lackluster efficiency metrics since 2022. Berry notes that Watson's diminished rushing ability makes him difficult to trust as a fantasy asset.
