The Browns' offense is not loaded with the most promising fantasy assets. The unit is young and still developing, but the quarterback play remains a roller coaster with some high highs and low lows.
During the 2026 season here on Browns Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at Deshaun Watson.
In his first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Watson had 268 passing yards, his second-highest total of the season to date. However, going on the road may prove difficult, but to Watson's credit, he will also be coming off his highest total (308)
of the year. There is a lot to weigh here, which doesn't make things easy to decide upon, but we are leaning one way.
In a shocking turn of events, we think it is a good idea for Watson to be starting in fantasy lineups in Week 8.
