Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Deshaun Watson

Sunday, January 18, 5:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is officially active for Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after missing back-to-back practices. The veteran signal-caller has spent the entire season backing up Matthew Stafford, which means he only plays when Los Angeles has a blowout lead or can kneel out the remainder of the clock. As a result, he has zero pass attempts and nine kneel-downs this year. Garoppolo should occupy a similar role on Sunday and can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

The Cleveland Browns currently expect quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) to be on the team next year, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "I can never predict the future, but right now we do anticipate him being on the 2026 team," general manager Andrew Berry said about Watson's status. Watson tore his right Achilles tendon in October of 2024 and re-ruptured the tendon and required a second surgery on Jan. 9 of 2025. The 30-year-old veteran stayed on the Physically Unable to Perform list all season, but if he can return to full health this year, he's expected to compete for the starting QB job this summer with Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Watson will be entering the final year of his five-year, $230 million deal in 2026. He'll be a huge question mark going into next season, but despite the investment the Browns still have in him, he's not guaranteed to win the starting job.
