Shedeur Sanders dazzles, but Watson’s return reshapes fantasy football week 10 start decisions
Watson returns to the lineup
Despite Sanders’ performance against New Orleans on Sunday, Watson is set to resume the starting role. The quarterbacks competed for the job during the offseason and training camp, and Watson won it.
In eight games this season, Watson has completed 65.5% of his passes for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. He has also rushed for 215 yards and a score.
Sanders delivers in relief
Sanders again showed he could step in when Watson was injured, providing the Browns with depth at quarterback. He connected with second-year tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a 39-yard touchdown in overtime.
Cleveland still came up short, failing to convert a two-point attempt that would have put the Browns ahead. The team lost to the Saints in overtime.
Browns remain in playoff chase
With Watson back under center, Cleveland will look to recover from the overtime defeat. At 5-4, the Browns remain in the AFC Wild Card race. The Browns are also chasing the 6-2 Steelers and Bengals in the AFC North.
