Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson Fantasy: QB NFL Data & Stats Speculations 2022

Player Outlook

Deshaun Watson will be suspended for the first 11 games of the season for violating the terms of conduct of the NFL he will also be fined $5 million dollars. This means that Watson will be available only for game 13 which ironically will be against his former team Houston Texans. This effectively means he will be out for the entirety of the NFL regular fantasy season, rendering him useless as a QB pick in your respective fantasy leagues.

Upon his arrival, the Browns have extremely tough matches ahead of them and since Watson has not played since the end of 2020, it would be foolish to expect him to pick up the pace right away. Therefore, it does not make sense to spend so much money on a player that is just going to take up space on your bench when there are a number of options in the same position that are guaranteed to give you points week in and week out.

Deshaun Watson’s fantasy data 

Bye Week: NIL 

Fantasy PPR Ranking: 129.9

Fantasy Points: 120.55

Watson has had 24 sexual misconduct lawsuits filed against him since 2021 and has settled all but one. The former Texans quarterback wanted to leave Houston after growing frustrated with the front office. The Texans sat him out for the entirety of the 2021 season and then traded him to the Browns this spring before the avalanche of sexual misconduct allegations unravelled. Watson is currently training with the team and might have built some understanding of the players next to him. However, that can not be compared to live game experience which will not come for him until the second half of the season.
