Deshaun Watson 2024 Outlook: Watson A Dark Horse QB1 Candidate?
7 months agoIt's been a rough go for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. His 2023 season was limited to six games after a shoulder injury forced him out of action. As a result, Watson has now played in only 12 games since the 2020 season. Due to his injuries and overall lousy play, there are many question marks surrounding him. Despite all the concerns, Watson still found a way to be productive for fantasy football last year. He finished as a QB1 in three of the four games he started and finished. Watson is coming off draft boards as the QB23 in NFFC leagues. At this price, the risks surrounding him are sufficiently baked into the cost. Fantasy gamers can select him as a backup quarterback and take a wait-and-see approach. The fact is, Watson can still deliver results for fantasy football. If he can find a way to play a full 17 games, a QB1 season is entirely possible. However, this might be a tall ask. Ranked as Rotoballer's QB23, Watson could prove to be a massive value in drafts. He's a great target for players who adhere to the late-round quarterback strategy.
