How the Browns may fare the first six weeks without Deshaun Watson

Los Angeles Rams v Cleveland Browns The Browns star is set to miss just six games after a 16 month investigation. Those first six games have a few solid teams in them, but it's not exactly a gauntlet. This bodes well for both Cleveland and their likely starter Jacoby Brissett. He's expected to start in Watson's absence. Cleveland are looking to compete for the AFC North and contend in the playoffs. So anything less than .500 in those six games without Deshaun Watson will be a disappointment. Given the of opponents they're facing, that's certainly possible. The Carolina Panthers will be led by an emotional Baker Mayfield who will want to defeat his former team. Even without Watson, that's no sure thing. The Browns are extremely talented and have a good chance of beating Carolina. Chelsea FC v Charlotte FC - Pre-Season Friendly The Jets and Falcons have been poor in recent years and likely won't overcome Cleveland. The and Browns are far more evenly matched without Deshaun Watson and that division matchup could go either way. The Patriots and Chargers represent the two best teams Cleveland will face during their quarterback's absence. Anything can happen, but those are probably going to be losses. The schedule does get a little harder after that, but Deshaun Watson should be playing by then and potentially leading the team to the playoffs. The six-game suspension was the best-case scenario for the Browns, who must be quietly delighted with the decision. NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
