Deshaun Watson Fantasy Outlook: Will the Browns QB feature in Week 14?

Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Watson has missed the starting eleven games this season due to a suspension from the NFL. The Browns have struggled this season and are placed third in the AFC North with a 5-8 record.

Watson returned in Week 13 and has played two games this season. In the last two games, he has thrown for 407 yards with one touchdown pass and two interceptions. The Browns depended a lot on Watson this season and were being considered the best team in the AFC North.

The Browns have very little chance of making it to the playoffs, but they still have four games left, and their star quarterback is back. Watson seems to be struggling presently, but he could make a strong impact in the upcoming games.

Watson will face the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 15 game on Sunday at home. The Ravens will likely start with their backup quarterback, Tyler Huntley, as Lamar Jackson is dealing with a knee injury. Huntley also suffered a concussion in the last game but is ready to play this week.

The Ravens have been a good matchup for quarterbacks in 2022, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game. That being said, it is the opening week of the fantasy playoffs, and managers aiming to advance to the second round might consider a safer choice at quarterback in Week 15.

Deshaun Watson is a safe option this week. You can expect him to earn you some good fantasy points. In the last two games, he had only 21.68 fantasy points, but he is expected to earn 20+ fantasy points against the Ravens.

The Browns are scheduled to face the New Orleans Saints, the Washington Commanders, and the Pittsburgh Steelers after Week 15. The Saints and the Steelers have been struggling since the start of the season, and Washington is the only remaining contest that provides a substantial challenge.

Deshaun Watson's timeline

The Houston Texans drafted Deshaun Watson as an overall 12th pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He has played four seasons with the Texans and was acquired by the Cleveland Browns in 2022.

Watson's best season came in 2020 when he threw for 4,823 yards with a pass percentage of 70.2, 33 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Watson was inactive last season due to suspension.

Deshaun Watson was suspended for violating the league's personal-conduct rules in addition to 24 lawsuits he faced for claims of sexual assault during massage sessions while playing for the Texans. Watson was subjected to a $5 million fine, an examination by medical doctors, and a treatment plan in addition to the 11-game suspension.
