Benjamin Watson enjoyed his second-best game of the season once again against his former team, the Cleveland Browns. The Baltimore Ravens tight end caught four passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in the win Sunday. Watson caught eight passes for 91 yards in their first meeting. The 14th-year big man was shut out of the Ravens offense the previous week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watson only has two games this season with more than 45 yards receiving, and they were both against Cleveland.
Fantasy football Week 16: Start or sit Benjamin Watson?
The Ravens big man burned up his former team in Week 15. We break down the fantasy implications.

Saturday, the Indianapolis Colts will be a tougher matchup for Watson. The Colts defense is notoriously bad, but they play much better against tight ends. They do not give up a lot of yards to big men. The Colts are tied for the fourth-most touchdowns allowed to TEs in the league, allowing seven scores so far this season
Fantasy impact: Watson only seems to show up against his former teams. He has essentially been a non-factor in fantasy this season but he has shown some promise recently. Watson has a touchdown in two of the last three games. He remains a touchdown-or-bust TE2 against the Colts this week. It is too big of a risk to start Watson for the finals.
