FantasyPros Articles on Deshaun Watson
From the article
The last time that we saw Deshaun Watson in a regular season game, he was horrible... I expect Watson to get pummeled this week against a pass defense that last year, in Weeks 12-18, allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt, the second-lowest passer rating, and the second-lowest EPA per dropback.
STACKED’s take
Watson's historically poor efficiency and preseason form signal disaster in Week 1.
Watson's 2024 performance was historically poor: among 40 qualifying quarterbacks, 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, finishing higher than QB16 in weekly scoring only once in seven games. His preseason was similarly concerning, ranking 37th in yards per attempt, 58th in aDOT, and ninth-highest in turnover-worthy play rate among 70 qualifying passers. The source expects Watson to be pummeled in Week 1 against Jacksonville's elite pass defense, which allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt, second-lowest passer rating, and second-lowest EPA per dropback in Weeks 12-18 last year.
