New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is officially listed as questionable for the team's game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Graham is dealing with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had just two receptions for 36 yards before suffering the injury but the Saints had a bye week in Week 6, so he wasn't forced to miss a game.
Jimmy Graham injury update: Saints TE questionable; unclear fantasy status
Jimmy Graham is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. We break down the fantasy implications.


That said, it’s unclear if Graham will be able to play against the Lions for Week 7. Graham definitely won’t be 100 percent for the game and is essentially a game-time decision. The questionable tag is supposed to denote a 50 percent chance of playing and at this point, that sounds about right. New Orleans may be struggling this season but Graham is doing just fine. He leads the team with 34 receptions for 376 yards and three touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: It's really a coin flip at this point with Graham, which is not good enough for fantasy owners. Fortunately, the Lions and Saints play early on Sunday, so there's time to watch for news early in the day and adjust plans if necessary. Ben Watson is the second tight end on the field and he doesn't offer much, even as a handcuff.
