Deshaun Watson posted a 57.5% success rate (True Media metric) in his latest game—his first above 55% since 2020 and one of his only strong EPA-per-dropback performances as a Cleveland Brown this year. Matt Harmon characterizes this as "definitely the best football he's played as a Cleveland Brown," attributing the improvement to head coach Kevin Stefanski's system fitting Watson better than previous schemes and instilling belief in the quarterback. Watson has improved at throwing outside the numbers on quick outs and tight coverage throws to Denzel Boston but hadn't consistently accessed the middle of the field where Casey Conklin runs in-breaking routes; over the last two weeks, Watson has started to see the middle better and is becoming more comfortable after his long layoff from the NFL. While Watson's tenure has been largely disappointing, the recent trajectory suggests incremental improvement in comfort and performance.PositiveProjectionSep 26, 2026

Matt Harmon remains highly skeptical of Deshaun Watson's long-term future as the Browns' starting quarterback. While Watson recorded his best EPA per dropback since 2020 against Tampa Bay, Harmon attributes this to the poor quality of the Buccaneers' defense rather than a genuine resurgence, labeling Watson an 'abject failure' as a starter.PositiveNewsSep 21, 2026

We'll see if this game ever starts again but as of now, it's pacing to be Deshaun Watson's best game by EPA per dropback in his time with the Cleveland Browns. The Bucs defense has been really underwhelming through two weeks, especially the linebackers and underneath coverage.NegativeProjectionAug 22, 2026
Matt Harmon identifies the Browns' quarterback situation and the potential 'sunk cost fallacy' regarding Deshaun Watson as the primary risk factor for Casey Conceição's early-season fantasy production.
