STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson's historically poor 2024 and weak preseason suggest continued struggles in 2026.

The last time Deshaun Watson appeared in a regular season game, he was horrible. In 2024, in his seven games played, he finished higher than QB16 in weekly scoring only once. Among 40 qualifying quarterbacks that season, he ranked 40th in yards per attempt, 38th in success rate per dropback, 33rd in highly accurate throw rate, and 40th in fantasy points per dropback. This preseason was not any better for Watson; among 70 qualifying passers, he ranked 37th in yards per attempt, 58th in aDOT, and had the ninth-worst performance in another key metric.
