New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham played on 43 of 69 offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. That's 62.3 percent, a major increase from Week 7, when Graham played in less than 50 percent of the team's snaps. Graham was questionable heading into that game and many expected him to miss it.
Jimmy Graham plays over 62 percent of offensive snaps; is a must-start in fantasy going forward
Jimmy Graham looked healthy against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Graham didn't get anything done in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, and also struggled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the week before that. But Graham was back to his old self against the Packers, catching five of the six passes thrown his way for a modest 59 yards and a touchdown. He's obviously capable of more, but he looked healthy and was a big factor in the team's gameplan.
Fantasy Impact: Graham is one of the best tight ends in the league so when he’s less than 100 percent it can be devastating to fantasy teams. He looked plenty healthy on Sunday and should be at or close to fully healed. He’s always a must-start and fantasy owners can stop worrying for the time being.
