The answer if you're considering playing Deshaun Watson in any format is just...no. Last week, he was the QB21 in fantasy while finishing with the fourth-highest off-target rate and the second-highest turnover-worthy play rate. I won't waste my time delving into this further or yours having to read a long blurb about Watson. I wouldn't be surprised if Watson is benched at some point this week. There's no way I'd start him in any format.
