Deshaun Watson Fantasy Week 1 Start or Sit: A DFS Dart, Not a Start
Cleveland hands the offense back to Watson in Jacksonville, and he sits 34th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 1 rankings. Nobody knows what he has left in the tank, and a quarterback running for his life is one pathway to fantasy points.
Deshaun Watson's Week 1 fantasy football performance remains uncertain as he starts for the Cleveland Browns in Jacksonville. Watson currently ranks 34th among quarterbacks in PFN's Week 1 rankings. His performance could be influenced by running for his life or executing a passing script, both of which could potentially yield top-20 fantasy numbers.
While there's uncertainty about Watson's abilities and the state of the franchise, there's also potential for unexpected results in the sport. The Jaguars faced shootouts with the Texans and Raiders last season, with their quarterbacks scoring over 26 points in games with more than 55 total points. Although a favorable environment like that is unlikely in this matchup, Watson could still secure a top-20 ranking due to his variability and the presence of other unknown factors.
In Superflex leagues, Watson might outperform others like Geno Smith, Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, and others. Ultimately, Watson's potential to "ugly his way to top-20 numbers" could make him a viable Superflex start despite the risks.
