Watson caught four passes on nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Watson disappointed in Week 11 against Washington, but with Drew Brees was under constant pressure against a resurgent Houston defense, he led the Saints in both targets and receiving yards on Sunday. Outside of a couple of outliers, Watson has proven to be a fairly consistent option for Brees, and though he remains firmly in the middle class of fantasy tight ends, owners could certainly do worse. Watson could be in store for another solid performance in Week 13 if Brees is again under duress against a ferocious Panthers' defense.

Watson caught three passes on five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Watson had recently emerged as one of Drew Brees' favorite targets the last few weeks, but he crashed back to Earth on Sunday. Despite the disappointing output, Watson remained heavily involved in the offense, as he played 49 of the Saints' 57 offensive snaps (86 percent), according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He may never be an elite weapon at this stage of his career, but Watson is firmly in the tight end mix as a weekly option for fantasy teams. Owners, however, will have to wait an extra week for Watson's services, as the Saints will be on bye in Week 11, before a Week 12 tilt against the Texans.

Watson caught 5-of-5 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Watson had a quiet day day even though his quarterback, Drew Brees, threw for 389 yards. Brees likes to spread the ball around, so Watson will have his fair share of average performances like this one to go along with the occasional offensive explosion.

Watson caught 9-of-10 targets for a career-high 147 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old led Saints' pass catchers in targets and yardage for the second time in three games, helping the team to a 52-point outburst en route to their third consecutive win. Watson has also now found the end zone three times in the last four games, and seemingly has a growing role in an offense that has recently come to life. Watson and company will look to extend their winning streak to four when they host the Titans in Week 9.

Watson caught four passes off of five passes for 59 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Watson didn't come near last week's 10-catch monster performance, but his four caches and five targets tied his second-largest totals for the season. He might not be putting up the kind of production usually attributed with a Saints tight end, but the veteran is now tied for second on the team with 29 receptions and his modest two-touchdown total leads New Orleans.

Watson caught 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was open all night and made a couple of tough catches along the way. He and Drew Brees were both brilliant, but Watson is unlikely to come anywhere close to Sunday's receiving line for the rest of the season, as he drew five or fewer targets in each of the Saints' first five games. He played at least 59 snaps in each of those contests, so Thursday's performance can't be attributed to a change in playing time. The excellent showing boosts his value, but expectations should still be modest.

Watson caught three passes on five targets for 36 yards, including a six-yard touchdown reception, in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Watson had a 21-yard grab on the Saints' first drive and hauled in a short slant for a score on the team's second drive, but he did not catch another pass until the fourth quarter, when the Saints were down 19 points. Watson remains the Saints' primary tight end option and has proven to at least be a reliable source of some fantasy points - something not all tight ends can claim - but his upside is still limited. Up next is a Thursday night game against the Falcons.

Watson caught three passes on three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's win against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Watson saw 64 of the Saints' 73 offensive snaps (88 percent), according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, compared to 34 snaps for backups tight end Josh Hill. It was Hill, however, who hauled in a three-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees in the first quarter. Watson has consistently out-snapped and out-produced Hill, but with only 12 total catches for 103 yards through the first four weeks, he has not proven to be much of a fantasy option.

Watson caught four passes on four targets for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Watson continues to dominate the workload at tight end, garnering 86 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps, compared to 40 percent for Josh Hill, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. With Luke McCown starting at quarterback in Week 3, the Saints featured an offense that was heavily predicated on short passes, which suited Watson well. If McCown starts again in Week 4 against the Cowboys, it would not be surprising to see the team take a similar approach, which could bode well for Watson's prospects. Still, with only nine catches for 73 total yards on the season, Watson is probably not a high-upside play.

Watson caught two passes on four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He played on 59 of the Saints' 78 offensive snaps (76 percent), according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

EDGE Analysis

Watson is seeing significantly more time than his tight end running mate, Josh Hill, who saw only 31 snaps in Week 2. Still, Watson's ceiling remains limited in his 12th year in the league, particularly with the Saints' offense out of sorts.
