Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Daniel Jones

Monday, November 17, 2:38 PM

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski provided no additional information on Monday regarding a potential timeline for the team to open the practice window of quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Watson ruptured his Achilles in Week 7 of last year and suffered an additional tear during the offseason, but all reports suggest that his recovery has been going well. Still, the Browns have not offered any clarity as to when, or if, he will return to the team. The 2-8 Browns have gotten starts from Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel (concussion) in 2025. With Gabriel currently in concussion protocol, it's possible that rookie Shedeur Sanders could make his first career start against the Raiders in Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) had his Week 11 bye as he looks to regroup after a rough two-game stretch. Jones got off to a fast start in 2025, but he took 12 sacks while throwing four interceptions over Weeks 9 and 10. Jones missed practice on Wednesday with a fibula injury but he was limited on Thursday and practiced fully on Friday as he appears set to take the field on Sunday. He will look to get back on track in Week 12's road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Overall Jones has been an excellent fantasy option this season but his recent lull, coupled with a tough matchup in Week 12 gives some pause. He is shaping up as a high-end QB2 for his contest against Kansas City this weekend.
