Benjamin Watson Continues to Roll

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Watson was the top tight end to sign up in my column two weeks ago, but most fantasy owners either ignored him or grabbed him for just one week and then dropped him again.  Watson is available in more than half of the leagues.  That will not be the case next week.

The 34-year-old was no one-game wonder after catching 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6.  After a respectable 59-yard outing in Week 7, Watson had his second monster game in three weeks by snagging nine passes for a career-high 147 yards and a score against a banged-up New York Giants defense.

I am going to go out on a limb and say Watson will not have a dozen catches for 150 yards this week. While the 1-6 Titans have been horrible at almost everything, pass defense is the one thing they have been good at. However, seven receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown is entirely possible, especially now that Brees' shoulder is no longer a concern
