Saints tight end Ben Watson is ahead of Josh Hill on the team's first depth chart. Watson had been reportedly outperforming Hill at camp. On top of being a far superior blocker, Watson had also been working ahead of Hill in red zone drills. This is a situation worth monitoring very closely heading into the season.
FANTASY ANALYSIS
Watson is not likely to be a viable fantasy option this season. However, a lot of fantasy owners have invested in Hill and things are not looking up for him. He appears to be a product of false hype caused by an overreaction to the Jimmy Graham trade.
