TE Sleepers

Benjamin Watson-New Orleans Saints: Watson had the best day of any tight end in fantasy football week 8 catching nine passes for 147 yards and a touchdown.  While he still isn’t going to be Jimmy Graham, he is stepping up enough to be a top-ten TE option in his expanding role with the Saints.

Jacob Tamme-Atlanta Falcons: Tamme had double-digit catches and caught his first touchdown of the season in the Falcons loss to Tampa.  He finished with 103 yards to go with his touchdown on ten catches.  Atlanta needs someone besides Julio Jones to catch passes, and this week it was definitely Tamme who rose to the occasion.

Heath Miller-Pittsburgh Steelers: Miller also had ten catches in the Steelers’ loss finishing with 105 yards although he didn’t get into the end zone.  His connection with Big Ben is undeniable, and with Roethlisberger’s return he’s a fantasy sleeper once again.
