Browns QB Deshaun Watson won't be suspended

Sep 19, 2023

Deshaun Watson could be fined by the NFL for his contact with an official Monday night but won’t be suspended. He also could be fined for his two personal fouls.

Fantasy Impact:

Watson committed two personal foul face mask penalties, one of which led to a scuffle on the Steelers sideline in which Watson pushed aside a referee. According to another Maske post on X, the on-field officials and the league considered the contact inadvertent and the officials did not believe it merited a penalty.

The Bears are expected to start Caleb Williams at quarterback Sunday against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams missed three games with a hamstring injury, but took the starter reps in practice this week and is ready to make his return to the lineup. The Bears got up and down play while Williams was out, though Case Keenum more than held his own against the Eagles in Week 3. Williams is our QB7 this week.

The Eagles are placing QB Jalen Hurts (blood clots) on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

This is ultimately the best move for Hurts and the Eagles. The most important thing for Hurts right now is to take care of his superficial blood clot in his calf. The Eagles discussed this with numerous doctors and experts and ultimately came to what was the best decision for all parties involved. This is about more than football right now for Hurts. It is unclear how long Hurts will be out for, but again, the important thing here is that he getting treatment and the Eagles believe this is treatable. As for the Eagles on the field, Tanner McKee will take over as the starting quarterback, beginning Sunday against the Panthers.

Steelers WR DK Metcalf (illness) was removed from the injury Saturday and is good to go for Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact:

It was a good news, bad news deal for the Steelers, as they also added TE Pat Freiermuth to the injury report with a calf injury. As for Metcalf, the Steelers are fortunate to have him ready to go, as they've placed two wide receivers (Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson) on injured reserve in the last week or so. Metcalf and Germie Bernard will lead the passing attack against Tampa Bay. In our half-PPR rankings, Metcalf is WR24, Bernard is WR31.
