2024 Player Outlook
The Browns have paid Deshaun Watson a lot of money for him to average 184.8 yards per game with a 59.8% completion percentage over his first two seasons in Cleveland. Suspension and rust was the excuse in 2022 but last season he just did not look comfortable, making poor decisions with the football and then ultimately getting injured which ended his season after just six games. Watson enters 2024 with his stock extremely low, even as the Browns bring in yet another offensive playmaker in Jerry Jeudy to go with Amari Cooper and David Njoku. At this point, Watson is nothing more than a QB2 flier in drafts with hopes that he can rediscover the man that was a top five fantasy QB during his last season in Houston.
