Fantasy Impact: Graham is now into his fifth season in the NFL and has never been able to stay healthy for a full 16-game schedule. This season is slightly different from others, though, in that Graham no longer has to compete with former Pro Bowl tight end Owen Daniels for targets.
When Daniels was out due to injury last season, Graham was able to put together a solid line on a somewhat regular basis in his place. That said, the Texans have changed a lot of their personnel this year and Graham is not exactly expected to explode into super stardom this late in his career.
Fantasy owners can feel free to give Graham a roster spot in deeper leagues at this point, although there would probably be no danger of missing out on him if he were added to lineups after practice on Thursday just to make sure he’s ready to go this Sunday.
