Brace yourself.
The chances are high there will be.
Look for the Bengals to make Watson a household name tonight. Even when they are a "good" team, they tend to make stars out of rookie QB's. I don't see why tonight will be any different.
Do you think it will be? If so why/who?

The stars born tonight will be the stars Dalton, McCarron, and probably Erickson will be seeing after the OL lets them all get crushed.
This game might legitimately turn out to be a battle between two teams on whose QBs can survive their awful OLs longer.

If they actually let Lawson play, I think he'll have a 2 sack night.
That's the only star I see being born tonight.

Disagree. Much will be made tonight during pregame lead-up of Dalton's POS game last week. On the other hand, much will also be made of Watson playing his first prime-time game ...on the road. I say Dalton shakes off the cobwebs and totally outplays Watson for a big win....much to the relief of the PBS grounds crew that would have had to spend extra time picking up all the garbage.

Pretty tough spot for Watson. Oline in shambles, no TEs and only Hopkins at WR with Fuller hurt.

I think the Star is Lawson. He had a good week last week and he should get time across from Dwayne Browns back up who struggled all last week.

Didn't see the poll up top until just now. Even if Watson does well against the Bengals, there's no way he wins Rookie of the Week.
There's a lot of exciting rookies who did well in Week 1:
RB Kareem Hunt (17/148/1 Rushing, 5/98/2 Receiving)
RB Dalvin Cook (22/127/0 Rushing, 3/10/0 Receiving)
RB Leonard Fournette (26/100/1 Rushing, 3/24/0 Receiving)
WR Cooper Kupp (4/76/1 Receiving)
WR Kenny Golladay (4/69/2 Receiving)
QB DeShone Kizer (66.7% completion, 222 yards, 7.4 AVG, 1 TD/1 INT, 85.7 QB Rating ... 5/17/1 Rushing)
Plus people to keep an eye on..
WR Corey Davis (4/69/0 Receiving)
TE Evan Engram (4/44/0 Receiving)
Also OJ Howard didn't even play Week 1 due to the hurricane. Should be interesting to see how he pans out. I'd put all of them over Watson on probability to win Rookie of the Week.

Can we utilize the shotgun? Give the WRs a little more time to open up and let AD find them.
