Browns QB Deshaun Watson was less terrible than previous weeks in Sunday's loss to the Eagles but continued his run of lackluster production. He went a solid 16-of-23 passing (69.6% completions) at 7.3 yards per pass attempt. But his 168 passing yards marked a sixth straight game south of 200. And he boosted another struggling opponent pass rush.
Watson did avoid fumbling for just the second time this season. But he took 5 sacks from a Philadelphia defense that had just 6 for the year entering the week.
Taking sacks doesn't cost Watson fantasy points in most leagues. But he now combines that issue -- which he has always had -- with a near-total lack of passing upside and only modest rushing upside.
That all makes Watson a poor bet for fantasy production the rest of the way. And his performance is holding back Cleveland pass-catchers.
If you're looking for a Week 7 defense to stream, consider the Bengals. They get the Watson matchup next.
He's averaging 5.2 sacks taken per week.
