SIT ‘EM – TE

What once looked like a smart move by the Saints in bringing back tight end Benjamin Watson has become a disappointing move by the Who Dats. Aside from the week three offensive explosion in Atlanta, Watson has failed to notch double digit fantasy points.

Watson will face his old team this week in Baltimore, so while some might think the Saints will dial up more opportunities for him, I wouldn’t hold my breath on him doing a ton of damage. The Ravens have not only been good defensively at home as a whole, but they’ve been particularly good at limiting the tight end’s production.

New Orleans is coming off a bye week and this is their toughest game since that Falcons match-up in week three. While it’s tough to justify benching someone like Watson when four teams are on a bye, he’s just not a good play in week seven against a very good Ravens defense.
