Matchup sources and sample limits
Position results are totals for all opposing players at that position, divided by defensive games, not an individual player forecast. Rank 1 allows the most PPR points; ties share rank. At least three games are required. Raw results are not adjusted for opponent strength, game script or injuries and do not establish individual cornerback coverage. QB PPR totals follow the source’s default 4-point passing-TD scoring.
WR with the highest targets per recorded player-stat appearance for that team entering the game. Prior weeks only; tied leaders, Week 1 and games without a recorded appearance by the leader are excluded. This is not cornerback coverage data.

Fantasy verdict
Deshaun Watson is a QB2 asset for rest-of-season trades. His overall rank is currently unassigned. In 6 recorded games through Week 6, he has thrown for 1174 yards and 7 touchdowns against 2 interceptions, adding 196 rushing yards and 0 rushing touchdowns. That is 14.8 PPR points per game.
Role and efficiency
His latest 3 appearances produced 30.7 pass attempts per game, versus 27.3 in the preceding 3. The workload is holding near its recent baseline. Rushing has supplied 3.3 fantasy points per game before turnovers. Across 3 recent snap records, he averaged 100.0% of offensive snaps. He completed 63.8% of passes; interceptions cost 0.7 points per game under the run's scoring. His 6.7 yards per pass attempt rank 18 of 36 qualifying QBs in our pool (three games and 50 pass attempts). Volume remains the stronger distinction than efficiency.
Weekly lineup call
Week 7: Use him in two-QB or Superflex lineups. His 13.4-point PPR forecast ranks QB17 in this run, with 28.9 pass attempts, 179.9 passing yards and 32.1 rushing yards. The matchup is against TEN. This forecast is 1.4 points below his observed PPR average.
Trade stance
Half-PPR trade value: 50.0. Same-position model prices: Aaron Rodgers (QB22, value 49.9) and Tyler Huntley (QB23, value 49.8). Price him as a secondary asset in rest-of-season deals; do not upgrade his trade tier on a single weekly forecast. PPR value is 50.0; Standard is 50.0.

Sources and calculation notes
Automatically generated by The Roster Report from source-linked statistics and published calculations. Fantasy tiers use a 12-team, one-QB baseline; lineup calls use the player’s rank within the published PPR forecast. Trade stances are editorial interpretations of model tiers, not market-price claims. Efficiency comparisons require three recorded games and at least 50 pass attempts for QBs, 30 carries for RBs, or 20 targets for WRs/TEs within the analyzer’s player pool. These editorial rules do not change model scores or rankings. No manual player writeups. Model neutral defaults are excluded from observed-stat claims. Recorded games can include injury-shortened appearances. Recent comparisons use appearances, not missed-game zeros.

Default-league values include the analyzer’s existing availability and RB adjustments. Custom scoring, Superflex and package premiums are evaluated inside the analyzer. No market discount or buy/sell recommendation is inferred without supporting market data.
Projection run assumptions: October 25 pregame injury refresh: confirmed inactives excluded; Mayfield and Huntley confirmed starters; Mason and Coleman restored using recorded 2026 roles. Jacobs full-workload and Barkley conditional healthy-role assumptions retained. Puka remains conditional. Kirk, Dell and Sampson are activated but have no usable 2026 offensive sample, so no numeric forecast is invented. Thursday and Paris-game forecasts preserved for audit.
