Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson

Friday, October 10, 10:56 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is returning from a bye in Week 5 for an AFC North showdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has been tough on opposing quarterbacks, holding the position to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. However, with the Browns even more dominant against the run, Pittsburgh may be forced to lean on Rodgers and the air attack despite Jaylen Warren's return. Though receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) has been ruled out, Rodgers could find success with his favorite target, DK Metcalf, after the two displayed strong chemistry in Week 4. Still, this contest is expected to be a low-scoring defensive battle, keeping Rodgers in the low-end QB2 range in superflex leagues.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has declined to say if he foresees quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) playing this year, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Stefanski added that Watson is working hard in his rehab and has been in the meeting rooms with the rest of the team. Watson suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 7 of last year and then re-tore his Achilles later on. The 30-year-old is around eight months removed from his surgery and isn't close to retaking the field. He's currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will not return to the practice field ahead of the team's Week 6 divisional tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For now, Cleveland is prepared to move forward with rookie QB Dillon Gabriel, with rookie Shedeur Sanders potentially moving into the QB2 role after the team traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals this week.
