Jimmy Graham

Fantasy Upside
Jimmy Graham is entering his second season in Green Bay and should have a better rapport with Aaron Rodgers. He had 55 catches for 636 yards and two touchdowns last season, which wasn't bad. But for a guy who had 10 touchdowns the previous season in Seattle, it was something of a disappointment.

Fantasy Downside
At 32, Graham doesn't really run well any longer. That was one of the things that made him special in the past. He's still a big target, but the lack of touchdown production last season was shocking. Rodgers favors Davante Adams when he gets down close.

2019 Bottom Line
Graham has produced at least nine touchdowns in five of his nine seasons, which is why last year was such a surprise. He should post similar catch numbers to a year ago. If he can add a few more touchdowns catches to his total, as well, he would be a serviceable No. 2 fantasy tight end. But his days as a No. 1 are over.

Week 16 at N.Y. Jets

Jimmy Graham has played through injuries but his play has been limited, to be sure. He managed just three catches for 32 yards last week and now faces a Jets defense that has shut down opposing tight ends all season. He's averaging 29 yards receiving over his past eight games and there's no reason to think that is going to change this week.

Week 14 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Broken thumb or no, Jimmy Graham caught a season-high eight passes last week. Even though they went for just 50 yards. That was, however, just his second game since the Week 7 bye with 50 or more yards. But hey, he got 22 percent of the targets in the Green Bay passing game last week, so maybe there's something there. There are certainly worse starts at tight end this week. Graham is a low-end TE1 play.
