Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Davis Mills

Monday, October 6, 3:48 PM

The Cleveland Browns won't open quarterback Deshaun Watson's (Achilles) practice window this week, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Watson remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he rehabs from a twice-ruptured right Achilles tendon last year. Watson went down with a torn Achilles in Week 7 of last year and continues to rehab from an injury that is expected to keep him out for all of the 2025 season. The Browns haven't offered many updates on the 30-year-old and figure to move on from him after this year. Before his season-ending Achilles injury in 2024, Watson performed poorly under center for the Browns and didn't look anything like the former QB he once was in Houston. The three-time Pro Bowler didn't play at all in 2021 due to a suspension and has started a combined 19 games in three years with the Browns due to injuries.

The Houston Texans have signed quarterback Davis Mills to a one-year, $7 million extension, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Mills is now under contract with the team through the 2026 season. Houston drafted Mills in the third round of the 2021 draft, and he started 26 games for the team over his first two NFL seasons. He has not started a game since, serving as the team's third-string quarterback in 2023 behind C.J. Stroud and Case Keenum and the backup in 2024 behind Stroud, a role he is now likely to hold for 2025 and 2026. In 38 career games played, Mills has completed 62.6% of his passes and thrown 35 touchdowns. If Stroud were to get injured, Mills would profile as a fantasy QB3.
