Deshaun Watson Officially Out, P.J. Walker To Start
Deshaun Watson Officially Out, P.J. Walker To Start
one year ago
Cleveland 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.
