Deshaun Watson Remains A QB1 Despite Matchup
4 years agoHouston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be facing off with the tough Colts' defense for the first time this season in Week 13. Watson will be doing so without the services of his favorite target, Will Fuller V (suspension), who will miss the rest of the season after being suspended for PEDs. While the loss of Fuller certainly hurts, it's not enough to completely downgrade Watson, who has averaged 291 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns per game over his last six contests. Houston has also struggled to run the ball this year and could struggle to do so against Indianapolis, meaning they'll need Watson's arm. Start him as a solid QB1 in Week 13.
