News: 1 day agoThe Browns are planning for Watson (concussion) to start Sunday's game against the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Spin: After entering concussion protocol following the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, Watson was able to resume practicing in a limited fashion Friday and then passed neurological tests Saturday. However, because of the lack of prep time leading up to Sunday, Watson ended up being inactive for the Browns' 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints while Shedeur Sanders made his first start of the season. Though Sanders performed capably in the losing effort, Watson -- who helped lead Cleveland to a 5-3 record through its first eight games -- will retain the starting gig and will return to the lineup against Houston following a normal week of practice, barring any setbacks.
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.
