Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Sam Darnold

Tuesday, November 11, 11:06 AM

The Cleveland Browns will not open the 21-day practice window for quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) this week, despite him showing great progress in his recovery, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Watson continues to recover from the injury suffered in Week 7 of last season, in addition to a re-rupturing of his Achilles, but isn't quite ready to practice yet. It remains uncertain if he will return this season or play for Cleveland at all in the future. In the meantime, rookie Dillon Gabriel will continue to start at quarterback for Cleveland.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should be a quality option at the position in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Darnold has been on a tear recently. He is coming off an impressive four-touchdown performance against the Commanders in Week 9. Darnold is comfortable in the offense, and it shows. The matchup with the Cardinals is not scary. While Arizona does boast a solid defense, Darnold already took advantage of this matchup in Week 4. The Cardinals have not seen an offense as dialed in as Seattle's yet this season. As such, Darnold has a great chance to exceed the 16.08 fantasy points he scored in Week 4. As long as wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba continues to play at a high level, Darnold will succeed for fantasy. Start him as a quality QB1 in Week 10.
