Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Josh Allen

Friday, January 10, 12:21 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a re-tear of his Achilles tendon and had another surgery on Thursday to fix it, according to sources informed of the situation. The re-tear comes less than three months after his original tear, and Watson could now miss the entire 2025 season. General manager Andrew Berry announced on Monday that Watson had suffered a setback in his rehab, but now we know that it's a pretty serious setback. Even if Watson can make it back at some point this year, there's an even bigger question about how he would perform after dual Achilles injuries. Since the Browns acquired Watson, he's played in just 19 of a possible 51 regular-season games due to injury and suspension -- he was suspended 11 games in 2022 following allegations of sexual misconduct. If he misses all of 2025, he will have played in just 19 of a possible 85 regular-season games.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 20 of 26 pass attempts for 272 yards and two touchdowns in the team's blowout win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the playoffs. He added eight rush attempts for 46 yards in typical Josh Allen fashion. Allen didn't notch his first score until late in the third quarter when he found running back Ty Johnson in the back of the end zone on a fourth-and-one from Denver's 24-yard line. He connected with Curtis Samuel for a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown on Buffalo's next drive. Allen and the Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.
