Ben Watson led the Browns with seven receptions on eight targets for 64 yards at Pittsburgh in Week 17. An afterthought in the first half of the season with just one game over 40 yards, Watson averaged 43 yards in the final eight games. He finishes the season with 49 receptions for 501 yards and three touchdowns. Although respected in the locker room and the community, Watson faces an uncertain future as an unrestricted free agent. The new leadership in Cleveland may opt to move on from the 32-year-old.

Starting at tight end, Ben Watson caught three passes for 47 yards in Cleveland's Week 16 loss to the Broncos. It was an inefficient day for the 32-year-old tight end, who nabbed just 30 percent of his team-leading 10 targets. The impending free agent is highly unlikely to be re-signed by the rebuilding Browns this offseason.

Ben Watson caught three passes for 43 yards in the Browns' Week 14 win over the Chiefs. He was targeted five times. Watson is third in line in Cleveland's passing-game pecking order, behind Josh Gordon (12 targets Sunday) and Greg Little (7 targets). Watson will be a TE2 for the remainder of fantasy season.

Ben Watson caught six passes for 80 yards in Week 13 versus the Raiders. Both totals were season-highs for Watson. The tight end saw nine targets on the day and has become a more prominent member of the passing attack in recent weeks, but we wouldn't suggest an add in fantasy. Through 12 games, Watson is on pace for a 45/446/4 line this season.

Ben Watson caught four passes for 47 yards and two touchdowns as the Browns were defeated by Dallas in Week 11. The red-zone scores were Watson's second and third of the season, and probably not a sign of things to come. He is potentially worth keeping an eye on because Watson saw eight targets against Dallas and was more prominently featured in the offense than Jordan Cameron (2 targets, 0 catches). We certainly still wouldn't recommend chasing these TDs into Week 12 against the Steelers.

Ben Watson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Week 2. This will be the last Rotoworld post on Watson until he does something notable aside from appear on the injury report. We're moving on.

Ben Watson (thigh) was limited again in Thursday's practice. Watson played just 25-of-62 (40 percent) of the Browns offensive snaps in the opener, seeing just two targets. He's not a fantasy option versus the Bengals in Week 2.

Ben Watson (thigh) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Watson was also limited last week before ultimately playing against the Eagles. He caught just two passes for nine yards in Week 1.

Ben Watson had two catches for nine yards in the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Eagles. Playing through a leg injury, Watson wasn't real part of the game plan. He saw two targets on emergency routes and spent most of his day trying to keep Brandon Weeden upright.

Per NFL.com's Albert Breer, Browns TE Ben Watson (questionable, leg) will play on Sunday. Watson was limited in practice during the week, but he was expected to play all along. With the Browns starting a rookie quarterback and rookie right tackle, Watson will likely be asked to help block much of the day. He's off the fantasy radar until further notice.
