Deshaun Watson a Viable Quarterback Streamer to Target on the Waiver Wire

Tuesday, October 20, 12:47 PM

Across six games in 2026, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has completed 63.8% of his pass attempts for 1,174 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. The 31-year-old has also added some fantasy value with his legs, rushing for 196 yards on 45 attempts. After a relatively hot start to the year, Watson's production has slowed down of late. Over the last two weeks, totaled just 319 passing yards and one touchdown while leading the Cleveland offense to just 25 total points. However, the Browns have a significantly easier matchup coming up in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Through six weeks, Tennessee ranks in the bottom 10 in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.5). Given the matchup, Watson could be a solid quarterback streamer for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire ahead of Week 7.

Baker Mayfield Worth Stashing in Two-QB Formats

Tuesday, October 20, 5:39 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to return to practice this week after missing three games with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. Mayfield has been replaced by rookie Jalon Daniels, who would start again this week against the Carolina Panthers if Mayfield needs another week to recover. The fact that Mayfield is returning to the practice field is a sign of progress for the veteran, and he'll be a midrange QB2 in superflex formats when he is ready to get back on the field. After a disappointing season last year, he struggled to an 0-3 start while posting 615 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions before his injury. He would be in a potential revenge spot against the Panthers this week if he's able to make it back, and he does have upside in this offense when he's healthy.
