Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

We're officially running on fumes for sleeper tight ends. The Saints offense continues to be a work in progress, with roles still being solidified from wide receiver (hello, Willie Snead) to tight end. A lot of preseason hype was given to Josh Hill to take over for Jimmy Graham, but that was a dud.

That brings us to Watson. He has been the definition of ordinary, with highs of four catches and 42 yards so far in 2015. But the Saints are heading into a Thursday Night Football outing with division rival Atlanta in a must-win environment. The Falcons have been stingy versus tight ends this year (5th overall) but they did give up a score to Derek Carrier in Week 5 and this game should be a shoot-out. Watson makes for a TD-dependent play for TE-needy owners.
