STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Watson's rushing floor and Titans' weak pass defense make him a better start than Penix.

Watson has an easier matchup against the Titans' pass defense (27th in EPA per pass, 29th in DVOA) compared to alternatives; he adds rushing value averaging 32.7 rushing yards per game with at least 22 rushing yards in all six games played, providing roughly a 65-yard scoring advantage over Michael Penix due to double-value rushing scoring in most leagues.
