Grading Week 4 Plays — Kolin Lukas
QB Deshaun Watson ($6,600): Grades: A, Values: A
Watson has been a bit of a disappointment to start the 2020 season. The Texans quarterback has thrown interceptions in all three games and only passed for multiple touchdowns once in three starts now. While the lack of explosive fantasy production is a turnoff, it’s worth noting that Watson posted his best passer rating of the season last week (110.7) against the vaunted Steelers defense. While it didn’t lead to a win, that confidence-building start should help in Week 4 in a massive get-right spot against a Vikings teams that has injury and performance issues across its defense.
The Vikings have allowed the third-most passing yards per game through three weeks and have the second-worst adjusted sack rate in the league so far, recording just three sacks in 2020. Giving Watson and the 4.32 speed of Will Fuller more time against a bad secondary here spells major upside. In the Awesemo projections, Watson ranks out as the third-best value this week and has by far the highest point projection of any quarterback under $7,000 on DraftKings. Everything points to him finally breaking loose against Minnesota.
Projected NFL DFS ownership: DraftKings: 11.2%
Editors Note : Though we’ve got Watson as a great NFL DFS play this week, I have his passing yardage prop projected for 20 yards less than what the Vegas books are offering. Head over to OddsShopper to find the best prices for the bets you want to make by clicking on the image below.
