Jimmy Graham limited in practice, Week 7 fantasy value improving
New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE
Graham sprained his right ankle in the win over the San Diego Chargers earlier this month. The Saints had a bye in Week 6 and are preparing to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact: Graham hasn’t had an amazing fantasy season so far but remains one of the top targets at tight end in pass-happy offense. He had just one catch against the Chargers but has had at least six receptions in three other games this season.
Graham, if active, will still be a No. 1 fantasy tight end this week against Tampa Bay but expectations should be slightly lower than usual because of the ankle injury. Fantasy owners may want to add a backup just in case Graham can’t play on Sunday.
