Ben Watson

Week 12 vs. Houston Texans

Ben Watson only caught 1 pass for 33 yards last week against the Packers, but he remains second on the team with 50 targets so far this season, and he should remain an active part of the passing game moving forward.

Baltimore has struggled to produce consistent fantasy points this season, but they face a Texans defense allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the tight end position, and they allowed a pair of touchdowns to the tight end position against Arizona last week. Watson isn’t a must-start by any means, but if you’re in need of a quality streaming option, the matchup makes Watson interesting.

Week 9 at Tennessee Titans

Ben Watson only had 2 catches for 6 yards last week against the Dolphins, but he did catch a touchdown and was targeted 4 times. Nick Boyle was also in on the action last week, but Watson should remain the primary target at the tight end position for the Ravens.

This week, Watson faces a Titans team that has only allowed 2 touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year, but rank 26th in total points allowed per game. Watson isn’t a great option in any given week, but as a red zone target and a safety valve, he has streaming potential.

Week 7 at Minnesota Vikings

Ben Watson only had 28 yards last week against the Bears, although he did have 6 receptions and led the team with 8 targets. He’ll face a tough Vikings defense this week that is tied for 10 in touchdown passes allowed this year with 8. While three of those have gone to the TE position, it’s still probably better to look elsewhere for a streaming option this week. Save Watson for a better matchup.
