Their 2025 seasons

The season feed carries no line for Deshaun Watson in the last completed season.

In 2025 Isaac TeSlaa played 17 games and scored 75.9 PPR points, 4.5 a game, finishing WR82.

He caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 10 red zone targets.

That came to 1.6 targets a game, a 59 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Isaac TeSlaa a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Deshaun Watson is off in Week 11 and Isaac TeSlaa in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

8.0 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
