NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS ATLANTA FALCONS

SIT ‘EM

Benjamin Watson
New Orleans D/ST
Austin Hooper

While I debated including Tevin Coleman here due to the Saints stout run defense, this is going to be a high scoring game and Coleman provides worth in the receiving game. The only Falcon I’d keep on the bench is Austin Hooper, who despite his decent season, is going up against a Saints team that has been able to shut tight ends down.

Speaking of the Saints defense, don’t roll the dice with them this week. Atlanta can score in a matter of minutes and this game could be a shootout.

Benjamin Watson is someone I’d sit this week too, as his production the last few weeks hasn’t given fantasy footballers enough trust to merit starting him. The last time he was a prime Sit ‘Em candidate, however, he went off for a few touchdowns, so sit at your own risk, I guess.
