After two straight games with over 100 receiving yards, it is seeming more and more that Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham is getting closer to regaining the form he once had early in his NFL career.

Coming off a knee injury that cut his 2015 season short, Graham only saw five targets in his first two games this year. However, in the Seahawks’ last two games the tight end has 12 catches for 213 yards and one touchdown on 17 targets.
Fantasy Impact: This weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, Graham will be attempting to have three straight games with over 100 receiving yards for the first time since the 2013 season.
He has a more-than-decent chance to accomplish that feat on Sunday versus the Falcons. So far in 2016, Atlanta’s defense is giving up the third most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
Yahoo! thinks Graham will finish the week with four catches for 55 yards and one touchdown. Given his recent production and his matchup on Sunday, fantasy owners should strongly consider starting the Seattle tight end in their lineups this weekend.
