After two quiet weeks for his standards, Jimmy Graham was back to his dominant ways on Thursday Night Football in week 12. Graham caught five passes for 100 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons, ending a two-week scoring drought.
Jimmy Graham breaks scoring drought with strong fantasy showing
Jimmy Graham failed to score a touchdown in his last two games, but the Falcons couldn’t keep him out of the end zone on Thursday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

His touchdown was the biggest play of the night for the Saints offense. The 44-yard score was just another addition to the highlight reel that is his 2013 season.
Fantasy impact: Graham’s foot injury clearly isn’t a hindrance any more, if you could even call it that in the first place. The top-scoring tight end continues to post huge numbers for his owners. He now has 11 touchdowns this year.
Graham and the Saints face the Seahawks on the road next week. While Seattle’s secondary is No. 2 in the league in yards allowed, he’s easily a TE1 regardless of the matchup. Graham has the ability to score at any time, and he’ll surely be on quite a few fantasy championship rosters.
