Outlook Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson at Tennessee — Gritty Road Battle in Nashville
Watson has guided Cleveland to a 4-2 record and first place in the AFC North, though his passing output has slowed after totaling 319 passing yards and one touchdown over his past two games. The Browns continue leaning on a balanced attack with Quinshon Judkins in the backfield, but Watson still supplements his floor with his legs, tallying 69 rushing yards over the last two weeks.
Facing a 1-5 Tennessee team on the road, Watson enters a matchup expected to be a defensive battle. Our weekly projection estimates 15.5 fantasy points, featuring around 169 passing yards, one touchdown pass, and 28 rushing yards. With a modest 10% start rate across fantasy leagues, Watson is best treated as a deep league play or streaming option in two-quarterback formats.

Outlook Isaiah Likely
Isaiah Likely at Houston — Elite Target Volume in Potential Trailing Script
Likely enters Week 7 fully healthy as the Giants' clear top tight end and a primary focal point of the passing attack alongside Malik Nabers. With backup tight end Theo Johnson doubtful, Likely should dominate tight end snaps, continuing a torrid stretch where he racked up 17 receptions, 193 yards, and three touchdowns across his last two games.
Facing Houston as road underdogs, the Giants should be forced into a pass-heavy game script, giving Likely plenty of opportunities with quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Our weekly projection pencils him in for roughly 5 receptions and 53 receiving yards (12.7 fantasy points), and his 93% start rate confirms fantasy managers should comfortably lock him in as an elite weekly starter.
