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 quarterback Deshaun Watson.
He has had moments of brilliance this year and had a QB1 game against the Steelers in Week 4. However, in Week 5 the game plan was exposed to showcase what teams have to do to keep Watson in check. If you take away his mobility, then
he cannot create and his receivers cannot extend plays for him.
Going against a Ravens defense that is well-built and has playmakers in their secondary, it just isn't a good matchup for Watson to be utilized.
