Deshaun Watson or Darnell Washington: who should I start in Week 3?
Both players' season price from the sportsbooks, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Sep 26, 2026 at 5:51 AM ET
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the books have not posted a whole price on Darnell Washington, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Where the draft room stands
Drafters have formed no consensus on Deshaun Watson: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 155th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 160.
Our board does not carry Darnell Washington at all right now: the consensus draft sample has dropped him and the sportsbooks have no priced market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
