I could be wrong though. I'm keeping Deandre Hopkins in my fantasy league just in case.

That's definitely a smart bet. And Watson may continue to put up eye-popping numbers.
Where I predict people will look like idiots, however, is the whole, "ICE IN HIS VEINS WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE = KID'S GOT IT GONNA WIN A BUNCH OF SUPER BOWLS!"
Deshaun Watson will probably go to a few playoff games before he breaks down. Maybe he'll go to a bunch of them. Maybe he won't break down from injury at all. But the narrative when he gets into the playoffs will always be, "He beat Alabama, so he can certainly beat __________," and in the NFL that's rarely a true statement. He will certainly lose a few of those, maybe all of them, and when that happens, the narrative on him is going to change even if he is a spectacular QB.
In the end, I'll take the more durable Mahomes with far more impressive potential and a REAL arm, not some slow-ass wobble launcher.
