Deshaun Watson Fantasy

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will make his season debut against the Houston Texans in Week 13. Watson is fresh off of serving an 11-game suspension and will face off against a Houston defense that ranks 24th in pass-defense DVOA. The Texans have been tough on quarterbacks in 2022, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far, although some of that may be a result of Houston's offense struggling to keep games competitive. Watson hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since the end of the 2020 season, so some rust is to be expected. That being said, he has plenty of weapons around him in Cleveland and should be motivated to play well against his former squad. Treat Watson as a low-end QB1 heading into Week 13.
