Watson is ranked QB34 in best-ball formats, outside the top 200 overall. He was steadier in the preseason opener and Kalshi has him at 84% to be the Week 1 starting QB. Sean Payton notes neither Watson nor Shedeur Sanders is worth a best-ball pick and is watching the QB battle for real-life implications rather than draft purposes.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
Cleveland's quarterback line still reads 'Watson or Sanders,' indicating uncertainty in the starting quarterback position heading into the season.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
Took every first-team rep in Saturday's team periods on a day the rotation was supposed to belong to Shedeur Sanders, who instead split the leftovers with Dillon Gabriel. Todd Monken will name a preseason-opener starter by Monday. Justin Herzig says reps beat quotes, and these reps flat-out contradicted the quote, so Watson is strengthening his grip on the starting role. Herzig prefers this outcome because either Watson regains his old form (extremely unlikely) or the much more likely outcome is they realize Watson is done, bench him, and give Shedeur Sanders the reins to see whether he can be an NFL starter.NegativeProjectionJul 31, 2026
JJ Zachariason speculates that while Watson was initially favored as the Browns' starter, the team has seen his arm is done and is shifting their internal lean toward Shedeur Sanders. Zachariason still thinks Watson most likely starts the year but the leash will be very short, perhaps two or three games, before it becomes Sanders' team.
