Each week of the season, Benjamin Watson has progressively seen more action. After being thrown to five times in Week 1, the tight received five targets in Week 2, and six on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. He finished Week 3 with a season-high 5 catches for 71 yards.

For the year, the veteran tight end has 12 catches for 134 yards, tied for third-most catches on the high-powered New Orleans Saints, behind only Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. Those numbers place Watson as a top-15 tight end in PPR leagues so far. He finished as a top-12 option in 2017, and his matchup in Week 4 will go a long way to help him get there again in 2018, with a trip to the New York Giants in store for Sunday.

The Giants’ linebacking unit hasn't been truly tested by a tight end yet, as they have faced underwhelming options from Jacksonville, Dallas, and Houston to start the season. Last year, though, the Giants ranked dead last in the NFL against the position, allowing the most touchdowns (12) and fantasy points per game (10.74).
