00:02
For me, this one is gonna be Watson.
00:04
And the reasoning is very simple.
00:06
It's 'cause Watson has the upside to crack the top five.
00:10
And I don't think Dak does.
00:12
A lot of this has to do with the rushing equity too.
00:14
If you look at their history of the rushing equity
00:16
of Deshaun Watson, back in 2020, 444 yards rushing,
00:20
413 in 2019, and then in 2018, 551.
00:24
So in 2019 too, he missed a game or two there.
00:28
So this is a guy who's already gonna bring you
00:30
at least a floor, theoretically, of about 450 rushing yards.
00:34
That matters.
00:35
And I think that alone gives you that separator.
00:39
And then if you look at what Dak Prescott did last year
00:41
with the turnovers, people are rightfully concerned about it.
00:45
And I am too.
00:47
It's not really been his MO.
00:48
In fact, he was a guy that always took care of the football
00:50
in his career.
00:51
That was kind of the thing.
00:52
Well, Dak is unspectacular,
00:53
but at least he doesn't turn the ball over.
00:55
When you turn the ball over,
00:56
you not only stop your fantasy points,
00:58
you stop everybody else's fantasy points.
01:01
So that's the one thing that kind of worries you
01:03
a little bit about the Cowboys and about Dak Prescott.
01:05
I think Dak is a perfectly good pivot,
01:07
a good investment at QB 10,
01:09
but at QB nine in that same round,
01:11
I'd rather take Watson
01:12
because there is that potential for more.
01:14
There's also potential for less.
01:16
I think we all have to understand that,
01:17
but the replacement value at QB one leagues is much easier.
01:21
I'll find the Gino Smith.
01:23
I'll find the Aaron Rodgers.
01:24
I'll find somebody else on the waiver wire
01:26
to pick them up and play them, and I'll be fine.
