News: 3 days agoThe Browns announced Wednesday that Watson (concussion) will start Sunday's game against the Texans, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.
Spin: Watson cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol this past Saturday, but because he managed just one limited practice during Week 9 prep, the Browns opted to make him inactive for their matchup with the Saints. Shedeur Sanders drew his first start of the season and threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 23-22 overtime loss in New Orleans, but he'll return to the No. 2 role this week while a healthy Watson reclaims the starting job. Though the Browns have gone 5-3 with Watson under center this season, he hasn't been without his flaws (six turnovers, 33 sacks taken). As such, Watson may need a strong showing against the Texans to hold off Sanders for the starting job in the weeks to come.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Watson will return to the field this season after a disastrous four years in Cleveland. A top-six fantasy QB (points per game) during each of his first four NFL seasons, Watson has appeared in a total of 19 games since joining the Browns, averaging a poor 13.1 fantasy points during the span. A torn Achilles suffered in Week 7 of 2024 (followed by tearing it again less than three months later) cost Watson all of 2025. Now 30 years old, with a young, unproven supporting cast and having not been a factor since 2020, Watson will open the season as Cleveland's starter, but he's a long shot to return to fantasy relevance. He should be considered only in superflex formats.
