Ben Watson will start Sunday's game against the Bills if Jimmy Graham (foot) can't play.
Watson is a pass-catching tight end, but he won't be asked to do the same things Graham does. The 6'3/255, 10-year veteran is more of a lumberer up the seam than a playmaker. He did have three catches for 61 yards on four targets against the Patriots while Graham was hobbled. There's some high-end TE2 handcuff appeal in Watson as we wait for more details on Graham's injury.
Either 1. Quarless will be the starter and already has a decent rapport with Rodgers,with while Watson has to contend with the other mouths Brees has to feed the football. Now Quarless has somewhat of the same problem, but he won't get spread out as a WR, he will be one the line more and be a mid range seam ripper or another check down option for Rodgers.
