Summary

Cleveland's trade for Deshaun Watson adds a new ceiling to the Cleveland offense. While Watson still has legal troubles in the form of civil litigation and potential suspension, he will not be criminally prosecuted regarding alleged sexually abusive conduct. Watson is the active leader in yards per attempt passing and ranks third all-time. Watson finished as QB4 in 2020, while leading the league in passing on the 10th most attempts in the league. The suspension and potential rust concerns after Watson missed the 2021 season are watches, but he has QB1 overall within his range of outcomes.
