Benjamin Watson, TE, Baltimore Ravens
DraftKings Price: $2,700
Benjamin Watson has quietly put together a very respectable fantasy season. He's no Zach Ertz, but he's a TE2 in PPR leagues on the season and has put up at least 8.6 points in six out of his past seven games.
This type of consistency is a boon in cash games. For $2,700, Watson only needs to score 8.1 points to return three-times value for your team, and he won't kill your lineups if he does happen to put up a stinker (unlike Karl-Anthony Towns last night, but I digress).
His opponent this week, the Titans, have been just okay against the position this season, but they have allowed four tight ends to put up double-digit games. Watson should be one of the top receiving options for Flacco this week, and we project him to finish with 10.2 points and return the best value at the position. If you aren't paying up for Ertz in cash, Watson makes an excellent punt play.
