Benjamin Watson, New Orleans Saints

Yahoo! Ownership: 41%

Benjamin Watson faced a tough matchup in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens but finished with his first touchdown of 2018. The New Orleans Saints' veteran tight end was quite productive beyond his one-yard score, tying a season-high with six targets. Watson pulled all of them in for 43 yards, finishing as a top-five PPR tight end on Sunday.

While he has only eclipsed the 50-yard mark once in six games this season, Drew Brees has targeted him on the regular, as Watson has racked up 28 looks this season, the 15th-most among tight ends. Facing a Minnesota Vikings squad on Sunday night with a weakness against the position, Watson is in line for another productive day in Week 8.

The Vikings have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, as opponents have racked up the fourth-most yards (504) and fifth-most catches (39) against Minnesota this season. The game also carries the fourth-highest over/under of the week, suggesting there will be plenty of points to be had in the contest. That puts Watson squarely in our sights for streaming in Week 8.
