Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

Benjamin Watson is a potential 2018 fantasy football tight end sleeper and ADP draft value. He can be drafted as an undervalued TE flier in the later rounds.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160

CURRENT ADP: ~190

ANALYSIS: Throughout the summer, Watson has been my favorite sleeper among tight ends that can be found in the later rounds of drafts, as his situation presents an enticing blend of ability and opportunity. This should provide a recipe for consistent production at a position in which that is often a rare commodity. But even as the ADPs of other undervalued players have gradually ascended into a loftier region of most drafts, Watson's ADP has remained stationary.

Not only did he finish at TE11 in 2017 (79 targets/61 receptions/522 yards), but during his most recent season as a Saint (2015), he resided at TE7 after flourishing in Sean Peyton’s offense (110 targets/74 receptions/825 yards/6 touchdowns). He now returns to New Orleans, with only Josh Hill, Michael Hoomanawanui, and undrafted rookie Deon Yelder behind him on the depth chart.

Yet, he still remains available late in round 14 or beyond, while less proven (Ricky Seals-Jones) less productive (Austin Hooper) and less reliable tight ends (Vance McDonald) are being selected before him. Considering the problematic nature of this position, owners should seize this proven veteran, who should thrive once again within the dynamic offense of the Saints. He's the definition of a late-round sleeper in drafts, especially at the tricky tight end position.
