Outlook Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson at Jacksonville — Tough Road Test in Week 1
Deshaun Watson enters the season opener starting under center after being named a team captain for Week 1. While he held off backup Shedeur Sanders to secure the starting job, external scrutiny remains high following a turbulent summer. Cleveland heads on the road as underdogs against Jacksonville, where Watson looks to prove himself alongside top targets Jerry Jeudy and Denzel Boston.
From a fantasy perspective, Watson is best left on the bench across standard leagues, rostered in just 3% of leagues and started in only 1%. Our models project a modest 12.5 fantasy points, forecasting roughly 189 passing yards, one touchdown, and 16 rushing yards. Given the low-scoring game environment and volatile floor, he is strictly an emergency option in deep two-quarterback formats.

Outlook Chuba Hubbard
Chuba Hubbard vs. CHI — Cleared to Lead Carolina's Backfield
Hubbard was officially cleared of an injury designation ahead of Week 1 after dealing with a preseason hamstring issue. Operating as the lead back with Jonathon Brooks limited by a groin injury, Hubbard should pace the backfield in touches, despite Carolina missing key starters along the offensive line.
Rostered in 97% of leagues, Hubbard profiles as a reliable flex option. Our weekly projection slots him at 12.4 fantasy points on roughly 11 carries for 45 rushing yards and a couple of catches. In a competitive home matchup, he offers a dependable touch floor with low-end RB2 upside.
