He was then promptly hit with a four-game PED suspension.That suspension is over. Tom Brady has a tight end now. This could be good.Watson isn't Rob Gronkowski, so we shouldn't expect Brady to go back to targeting tight ends as much as he did when Gronkowski was on this team. But Watson's no slouch.

Patriots Getting Benjamin Watson Back rotoballer.com Mon 9/30/19 1:11 PM

New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson is returning this week after his four-game suspension to begin the year. It's another weapon for quarterback Tom Brady to utilize heading into Week 5 against the Redskins. The 38-year-old Watson had 35 catches for 400 yards and two scores in a full season with the Saints in 2018. While he can still do some damage and will be a red-zone weapon for the Pats, he'll be more of a low-end TE2 until we see how much they utilize him in their passing ...

Benjamin Watson Plans To Sign With Patriots rotoballer.com Thu 5/9/19 3:02 PM

Free-agent tight end Benjamin Watson plans to sign with the New England Patriots.

Benjamin Watson Considering Return rotoballer.com Tue 4/23/19 2:42 PM

Free-agent tight end Benjamin Watson, who was intending to retire after last year, is considering a return to the NFL, according to sources. Watson had 35 catches for 400 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games for New Orleans in 2018. He's unlikely to return to the Saints after they signed Jared Cook, and it's fair to wonder how much the veteran has left at this late stage of his career. Even if he signs with another team, it's unlikely that Watson will be a fantasy option in 2019.

Heroes and Zeroes - Conference Championships rotoballer.com Fri 1/18/19 11:00 AM

You may notice the flex is gone from this week's title. Mad Cobra would not approve but with just four teams playing it's not as if there are any sleepers left or depth charts to peruse. Pick the guy you think might blow up and cross your fingers. Am I going to recommend C.J. Anderson to compensate for the fact I didn't mention him last week? Absolutely not. If I'm going to miss a chance to identify a great lineup pick, at least let me have my stubbornness to cling to.[...]
