Watson’s Week 1 Fantasy Start Recommendation | NFL News

About this episode

Deshaun Watson returns to the field for his first regular-season game in two years, but fantasy owners should sit him Week 1 against the Jaguars — a defense that limited passing TDs last season and will test a shaky new OL and rookie WRs. Don’t rush to start him; better options are out there.

On September 7th, all right, let's talk fantasy football. Specifically about the Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation heading into the season. The team's offense is still finding its footing, and a big part of that is the quarterback play. We're looking at DeShawn Watson, who's been named the starter and is set to play his first regular season game in two years. Now for week one against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the advice is to hold off on starting Watson in your fantasy lineup. The Jaguars' defense, while not elite, showed some strength against the past last season, particularly in limiting passing touchdowns. This isn't the matchup you want for a quarterback returning from a long layoff. Watson is stepping back onto the field with a new offensive line and rookie wide receivers, all facing a defense that will definitely put them to the test. It's a tough spot, and honestly, you shouldn't feel pressured to start him just because he's back. There are likely better options available for your fantasy team in that opening week. So, for that initial game,

it's a sit recommendation for DeShawn Watson and fantasy football. We'll keep an eye on how things develop as the season progresses. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI.
