Saints TE Ben Watson sits atop the team's first depth chart

Saints tight end Ben Watson is ahead of Josh Hill on the team's first depth chart. Watson had been reportedly outperforming Hill at camp. On top of being a far superior blocker, Watson had also been working ahead of Hill in red zone drills. This is a situation worth monitoring very closely heading into the season.

FANTASY ANALYSIS

Watson is not likely to be a viable fantasy option this season. However, a lot of fantasy owners have invested in Hill and things are not looking up for him. He appears to be a product of false hype caused by an overreaction to the Jimmy Graham trade.
