Why

  • Deshaun Watson is QB17 on our rest of season ranking: 16.1 projected PPR points a game over his 10 games left through Week 17, 0.7 a game below a replacement QB (16.8).
  • Week 7: 13.3 projected PPR points (@ TEN), QB25 on this week's board. That defense allows the 19th most fantasy points to his position.
  • He played 100% of his team's snaps over his last games, through Week 6.
  • Across Sleeper leagues he was dropped 55,112 times and added 62,056 times in the busiest 24 hours we measured this week.

Rest of season figures are projected PPR points a game from Week 7 through Week 17, measured against a replacement level starter at his position. Shares compare his last game with his games before it.

Who to add instead

Add C.J. Stroud (HOU) instead, 16.9 projected PPR points a game rest of season. He drew 736,750 adds in his busiest 24 hours this waiver cycle.
