Deshaun Watson struggles in fantasy rankings despite team wins
Summary

Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson ranks 31st among quarterbacks in Week 4 fantasy rankings. Despite leading the team to two straight victories, Watson has not recorded a top-10 finish this season, averaging 195.7 passing yards per game. The Steelers, Cleveland's upcoming opponent, have allowed the fewest red-zone trips in the league this season, complicating Watson's fantasy value. Analysts suggest that even with recent wins, Watson's performance ceiling has likely been reached, making his fantasy appeal limited.
