Yes, you're starting New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham in your year-long fantasy league. While he did have zero points in Week 7 due to his shoulder injury, he bounced back in Week 8 with a five-catch game consisting of 59 yards and one score against the Green Bay Packers.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 9: Jimmy Graham
Jimmy Graham put the Week 7 goose egg behind him in Week 8. Will owners in daily fantasy leagues want to cash in on him?
Chris Graythen
Graham hasn’t quite set the world on fire like he did before his injury last season, clearing the 100-yard plateau just once and only four TDs on the year. Still, things look up for him this week.
He gets the Carolina Panthers this week. Graham carved them up in both games last season, totaling three scores, 11 catches and 131 receiving yards. While they have been the seventh-toughest defense against tight ends, Graham is more like a receiver, so that the Panthers have been one of the worst defenses against receivers bodes well for him.
Fantasy impact: He is going to put up huge numbers and is an option in daily fantasy leagues.
