According to Ian Rapoport, Browns QB Deshaun Watson is set to hear about the final decision that will be made on the NFL’s suspension appeal by next week.
Fantasy Impact: Sue Robinson recently issued Watson a six-game suspension for the sexual assault case that has been ongoing since 2021, once the decision came, though, the NFL quickly turned to appeal the decision and is looking to raise the suspension. Roger Goodell was in charge of deciding who would look after making the final decision on the Watson case as any decision from here on forward is final. The commissioner has put Peter C. Harvey in charge as someone who has previous experience in sexual assault-related cases, Harvey is a former NJ attorney general. This result so far is not surprising as the league had initially recommended to Robinson that Watson be suspended a minimum of 1-year, which means managers in fantasy should prepare to be without the QB for all of the 2022 season, for now he can be held in dynasty leagues, but he should likely be avoided in all redraft leagues. While Watson is out Jacoby Brissett seems poised to lead the offense which will boost his fantasy value, but it will also lower the fantasy outlook of the entire offense at least a minor amount.
