Will Deshaun Watson be benched for Week 3 after the Browns' QB reevaluation?

Answered 2026-09-22 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Based on the latest wiki entry (dated Sept. 20, after Week 2), the decision was still up in the air. Head coach Todd Monken stood by Watson for Week 2 despite his rough Week 1 outing (205 yards, 1 INT, 5 sacks), but the team explicitly stated they would revisit the starter decision before Week 3 at home vs. Carolina (from the Deshaun Watson page).

There isn't a final verdict recorded in the wiki yet — it captures the situation as "under evaluation." Shedeur Sanders has been waiting in the wings, and Dillon Gabriel (who had a strong rookie season with 7 TDs vs. just 2 INTs) is also in the QB room, so it was a legitimate shakeup scenario. You'd want to check the latest Browns beat reporting for the final call on who took the field against Carolina.
