Deshaun Watson: 164 yards, five sacks in Browns win

THE FACT. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards and added 29 rushing yards on eight carries in Cleveland's 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday, per NBC Sports' Myles Simmons. He was sacked five times. Andre Szmyt won it with a 37-yard field goal as time expired, after missing a 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter.
THE VERDICT. Sit. Watson took eight sacks in his previous outing, a loss to the Jets per Yahoo Sports, and now five more in a game his team won with 13 points. That is a quarterback whose own offense cannot protect him, and 164 passing yards is the output to match. Redraft: bye-week emergency only, and a poor one. DFS: fade at any salary. Survivor: Cleveland is 4-2 and tied for first in the AFC North, but the record is the defense and the kicker, not this passing game, so do not bank a future pick on it.
