Week 9

Quarterbacks

DeShaun Watson – I am not sure how exhaustive any analysis of Watson needs to be. There are several value options at wide receiver and at running back this week that make paying up at quarterback fairly easy (especially in a tournament context where you can trade off a lower floor at certain spots for ceiling elsewhere). Watson has been the best player in fantasy this season on a per game basis and trails only Alex in total fantasy points on the year. Watson’s worst start was a 24.3 DK point fantasy effort against the Browns where he threw only 24 passes and ran only 6 times. I am not going to go full Mattek here with projecting a 24 point floor but his efforts this season suggest that he is uniquely qualified to pile up fantasy points in a limited number of attempts if the massive THIRTEEN point spread becomes a factor.
