Watson salvaged his fantasy performance with a 49-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter, but he struggled mightily as a passer, taking three sacks that resulted in only 98 net yards passing in his first career start. The first-round pick remains an upgrade over Tom Savage, but he consistently locked onto DeAndre Hopkins and failed to read through his progressions. Things figure to be significantly tougher for Watson and the Texans in Week 3 against the New England Patriots.

Per numberFire Live, Watson finished with -2.78 Net Expected Points in Week 2, meaning a league average quarterback would have scored 2.78 more points than Watson did if put in similar situations. His 17.7 points on FanDuel were slightly more than what our models expected (14.4).
