New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (shoulder) is likely heading towards a game-time decision, leaving fantasy owners in quite the pickle. If he does suit up, Graham's level of health also needs to factor into the starting decision. If the Saints didn't have a bye last week, it would have been unlikely that Graham would have been healthy enough to play.

Fantasy Impact: There is obviously a real chance of Graham sitting this one out, so it would be foolish not to have a backup plan ready to go. If Graham does play, then he belongs in all starting line ups, even if he’s not 100 percent healthy. Graham has proven time and time again that he’s an elite playmaker who can drop a terrific line in any given week. He’s even found ways to produce in situations like this, where he’s played at less than full health. Owners will likely need to monitor the situation all the way up to game-time. Thankfully, the Saints play a 1:00 game, so a last-minute change will allow his owners to switch to players in later games.
