Availability Watch · Elevated

Deshaun Watson's latest report moved the needle from background noise to start/sit debate. The latest on file is Achilles (2025 Wk 16), listed as Out, against a backdrop of 5 missed games over the last three seasons (2025: 3 and 2023: 2). The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, treat Deshaun as a week-to-week decision until status moves toward full participation.
