What a fun seven weeks it was! Prior to his injury, Watson appeared to be one of the most game-changing players of the 2017 season. As a mostly undrafted player, Watson was a waiver wire pick up following his emergence to the starting lineup in Week 1. Following that, Watson finished as a top 12 quarterback 71.43% of his weeks. And his only two non-QB1 weeks were weeks 1 and 2.
On a points per game basis, Watson was the top overall QB in fantasy football by a margin of nearly 3 points. A significant portion of this scoring came from his rushing success. Despite playing only 6.5 games, Watson had the 11th most rushing yards among QBs on the 17th most attempts. He added 2 rushing touchdowns to help improve his fantasy scoring.
It's fair to see why there's excitement surrounding him with regards to his average draft position. Early drafters don't appear to concerned that he tore his ACL on November 2nd as he's currently being drafted at the top of the 4th round as the second QB. Whether it's his rushing production or his connection with his top wide receivers, Watson has demonstrated a capacity to score fantasy points quickly. As a primarily late-round QB drafter, I'll probably be passing on Watson in the early rounds, but he has the ceiling to anchor a team with weekly top 12 QB production.

 DeAndre Hopkins a gametime decision
Texans believe he will play

|  | Texans will test WR DeAndre Hopkins and his injured ankle in pre-game warmups, but going on, they believe he will play. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Hopkins is coming down to a gametime decision but it sounds like he will play unless the pregame workout goes bad. With Lamar Miller already ruled out, the Texans will be lacking playmakers on offense if Hopkins sits. Demaryius Thomas and DeAndre Carter will serve as secondary receiving options for Deshaun Watson.
