Saints tight end Jimmy Graham did not practice on Wednesday due to a foot injury. He sustained the injury in Week 6 against the Patriots and did not return.

Graham had zero catches in that game after he entered the week leading the NFL in receiving yards.
The Saints had a bye in Week 7, but it doesn't sound like it was enough rest for Graham. He's likely headed for a dreaded game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Bills. Also, it was previously reported that Graham's injury is minor.
Fantasy impact: The good news is that the Saints have an early game on Sunday, so Graham owners have a variety of options as emergency guys. Jordan Reed is the waiver flavor of the week and would be ideal, but those really in a pinch can look to Ben Watson, Graham's backup. Obviously, if Graham is active, fantasy owners have to absolutely put him in their lineup. Drew Brees is a must-start option against a soft Bills defense.
