Deshaun Watson, QB, Houston Texans

DraftKings Price: $6,700
Projected Points: 23.1

Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson has set the fantasy football world ablaze over the past three weeks. He has scored 25.1, 34.7, and 33.5 points on DraftKings during that time and now faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The Houston Texans are favored at home by 10 points and have an implied team total of 28.25 points.

Watson has scored 12 touchdowns over the past three weeks while accumulating 845 passing yards and 96 rushing yards. If the Texans are going to meet or exceed their current total against the Browns, the signal caller could legitimately throw or run in every single touchdown that the offense scores.

The fact that he's averaging 40.0 rushing yards in his last four games also boosts his floor for cash games. His ceiling is massive, as the Browns have allowed 20.8 points per game on DraftKings to opposing quarterbacks (sixth most).

Our models have Watson projected to score 23.1 DraftKings points, which is the sixth-highest projection for quarterbacks this week. With his recent production and Week 6 matchup, that could end up being his floor.
