O'Brien: QB DeShaun Watson playing at a 'really high level'

Aug 25, 2020

Texans coach Bill O’Brien said it’s clear Watson has “a really good grasp of our offense” and is “playing at a really high level.”

Watson said despite the changes -- and lack of practice time this offseason with new Texans receivers Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb -- he believes his “confidence is continuing to grow."

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously losing DeAndre Hopkins was a big deal, but the story said Watson is adjusting nicely. Watson is also entering his fourth year in the offense so there a greater level of comfort. Watson is ranked fourth on our QB list.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.

Good news for the Saints as they try to claw their way back into playoff talks. This would be great for Chris Olave, who has a very cushy matchup against the Panthers secondary this week.
