On Friday, New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson stopped by the ESPN Fantasy Focus Football podcast and revealed that a player on the Washington Redskins thanked him in the middle of a game this past Sunday for helping his fantasy football team.
Since the departure of Jimmy Graham, the Saints needed to fill a huge void at tight end and surprisingly, the 34-year-old Watson has had a bit of a career resurgence this season. Heading into the bye week, the 12-year veteran has 46 receptions, three touchdowns and 551 receiving yards, sixth among tight ends.
With stats like that at a position where it's hard to find quality, consistent fantasy football production, showing your appreciation, even if it is during an NFL game, is something that should definitely happen. Just sayin'.
