Ben Watson 2018 Outlook: Team Context Trumps Age Concerns
6 years agoBen Watson is one of the more veteran players in the league at 37 years of age, but that doesn't mean he should be overlooked in 2018. He rejoins the New Orleans Saints, where he put up 825 yards and six touchdowns just three years ago in his final year with the team. On a prolific offense that was in desperate need of a playmaker at the position, Watson faces little competition at tight end and already has familiarity with the offense. He won't be a focal point of the offense, but red zone opportunities alone make him a valuable and underappreciated TE2 who could outperform several younger players at his position.
