Outlook Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson at Tennessee — Low-Scoring Road Tilt Caps Ceiling
Deshaun Watson leads a 3-2 Cleveland squad into Tennessee coming off an emotional stretch, though pass protection remains a hurdle after enduring five sacks against Baltimore. Despite the pressure, Watson continues to showcase rushing ability, tallying 69 yards on the ground over his last two games while steering clear of interceptions.
For Week 7, this matchup features a defensive, run-heavy game environment with a low 37.5 projected total. Our projection pegs Watson for roughly 169 passing yards, one touchdown, and 28 rushing yards (15.5 fantasy points). With start rates hovering around 15%, he remains a matchup-dependent option best reserved for Superflex leagues or desperate streaming situations.

Outlook J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Washington — New York Backup Role Keeps Him Sidelined for Fantasy
Following his recent trade from Minnesota to the Giants, McCarthy continues to get acclimated to a brand-new playbook while Jameis Winston handles starting duties under center. Although reports floated the possibility of specialized packages to leverage his mobility, he remains behind Winston and is not expected to see meaningful action.
Given his reserve status, our weekly projection slates McCarthy for 0.0 fantasy points against Washington in Week 5. Roster rates sit near one percent across leagues with zero percent started, giving fantasy managers no reason to activate him in standard lineups. He is strictly a bench stash for deep dynasty rosters.
