Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Kedon Slovis

Sunday, February 15, 4:09 AM

The Cleveland Browns "believe" that quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will compete with Shedeur Sanders for the starting role ahead of the 2026 season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Watson started throwing again this past week, and he's expected to be a real factor in the Browns' quarterback competition this summer. Watson last suited up in 2024 when he went 1-6 across seven games with 1,148 passing yards, six total touchdowns, and six turnovers. Meanwhile, Sanders is coming off a rookie season in which he tallied 1,400 passing yards, eight total touchdowns, and 11 turnovers across eight games (seven starts). Neither quarterback has played particularly strong football in the NFL recently, but nevertheless, it sounds like the Browns feel comfortable with one of those two quarterbacks being their starter next year. In fact, Wolfe adds that Cleveland wants to use one or both of its first-round picks on offensive weapons but doesn't expect to draft a quarterback in the first round.

The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Kedon Slovis off of the practice squad on Saturday. The 24-year-old has bounced around the league, suiting up for various practice squads in the last few years. While the signing won't directly impact fantasy managers, it could mean that Kyler Murray (foot), who is still questionable, won't be out there in Week 6 versus the Indianapolis Colts. However, it's still too early to speculate. If Murray ends up suiting up on Sunday, Slovis may still stick around as an emergency quarterback. On the other hand, Jacoby Brissett is in line to start if Murray gets ruled out. Either way, Slovis isn't worth adding to any fantasy roster.
