Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Lamar Jackson

Sunday, November 23, 10:08 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) made his first road trip of the regular season and will be on the sideline for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Watson has reportedly offered plenty of help to Dillon Gabriel (concussion) and Shedeur Sanders this season, and he worked closely with Sanders to help him understand the game plan before his first NFL start on Sunday. However, Sanders' start isn't the only reason why Watson made the trip. According to Cabot, it's also the first time the veteran quarterback was healthy enough to travel this season. In fact, he could be nearing a return to game action. Watson remains on the PUP list and might have his 21-day practice window activated soon, according to Cabot. The 30-year-old has been sidelined for over a year, but it appears his return could be coming in the near future.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Baltimore Ravens will consider resting quarterback Lamar Jackson every Wednesday to keep him fresh for the rest of the 2025 season. Jackson missed a few games earlier this year with a hamstring injury and has missed the last two Wednesday practices due to minor ankle and knee injuries. The 28-year-old figures to be a non-participant on Monday, too, but he should be just fine for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals next Thursday (as long as he comes out of Week 12 without any injuries). Jackson hasn't looked the same on the ground this year, which has kept him from the elite tier of QB1 options in fantasy football. However, the two-time MVP is still a set-and-forget QB1 in fantasy football and could be primed for a bounce-back performance on Sunday against the visiting New York Jets.
