Jimmy Graham racks up garbage time fantasy points in Week 4
It looked like an off night for Graham until the Saints were playing in full comeback mode in the fourth quarter. We break down the fantasy implications.

The Saints trailed 31-3 at one point, leaving them no choice but to constantly throw the ball late in the game. Graham caught his touchdown pass and hauled in several other receptions in garbage time.
Fantasy impact: Does the final score matter to fantasy owners? Not one bit. Graham put up solid numbers once again, and it doesn’t matter how he got them. Brees targeted his top tight end often in the fourth quarter, marching down the field against a prevent Dallas defense.
New Orleans is now 1-3 heading back home to play Tampa Bay. You can expect this offense to want to take advantage of a favorable crowd against one of the league’s weaker defenses. Graham will be at the top of his position ranking and a great DFS play again in Week 5.
