Deshaun Watson News
Sunday, August 2, 11:18 AM
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has thrown six interceptions through the first four practices of training camp, according to ESPN. The rough start comes as Watson tries to win the starting job after he and Shedeur Sanders handled most of the first-team work during the offseason. Saturday brought more trouble, including a short pass that was tipped before being returned for a touchdown and another throw intercepted by safety Donovan McMillon. Watson has not played in a regular-season game since tearing his right Achilles in October 2024. He completed 63.4% of his passes for 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions across seven starts that season. Cleveland has not named a starter, and Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green are also part of the competition. Watson still has time to settle into the new offense, but six interceptions in four practices is a concerning start. He remains only a speculative Superflex option unless he wins the job and shows a significant improvement during the preseason.

Ty Simpson News
Saturday, August 1, 7:20 AM
Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett split reps evenly in training camp practice on Friday, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. With Rams QB1 Matthew Stafford resting on Friday, Atkins reports that Simpson had an "eventful day with some highs and lows." Los Angeles selected Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after he threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns across 15 games in his final collegiate season at Alabama. As long as Stafford stays healthy in 2026, Simpson is highly unlikely to see the field for any significant stretch in his rookie season. However, given where they drafted him, it appears Los Angeles views Simpson as its quarterback of the future. Simpson's dynasty value could fluctuate significantly based on how he performs in training camp and the preseason.
