DESHAUN WATSON - QB HOUSTON TEXANS

Sit Him

Look, I know what this sounds like. Aaron, you’ve got to be crazy; I'm in the playoffs because of the performances that Deshaun Watson has provided for my team the whole year. He’s QB 6 on the year and has been the QB 1 in 2 of the last 3 weeks, but Chicago’s defense is the 8th best against opposing fantasy QBs in total points allowed. Thus is even despite getting lit up by Matthew Stafford and the Lions for 402 passing yards and 3 TDs. Chicago is a very good defense, and I expect them to fully rebound back to form after their week 13 embarrassing performance. Watson has been amazing with the limited playmakers around him this year, and with the best skill position player in Will Fuller being suspended for the rest of the year, I expect Watson to try and put the team on his back which makes him more turnover prone. I think Watson will finish outside the top 12 this week for QBs, which makes him a non-starter in 12-team single QB leagues. If you have the guts to do this, I praise you. If not, I understand and wish you the best of luck going forward.
