Deshaun Watson Officially Out, P.J. Walker To Start
1 year agoCleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. P.J. Walker will make the start instead with Watson missing his second straight game. Watson is dealing with a rotator-cuff contusion in his right shoulder, and last week's bye wasn't enough time for him to gain clearance to return this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider the 28-year-old signal-caller questionable for next week's game versus Colts in Indianapolis. With Walker getting the start over rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 6 against the nasty defense of the 49ers, all of Cleveland's offensive skill players should be downgraded significantly in terms of their fantasy upside. Walker will be nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
