The Deshaun Watson Dilemma in Fantasy Football

We know what Deshaun Watson can do when he is on the field. Last season, he led the NFL with 4,823 passing yards. He's thrown 104 touchdowns over the better part of three and a half seasons. He has taken what looks to be a terrible team and made it into a playoff contender on […]
