Jimmy Graham Fired Up To Face Former Team

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will be fired up to face his former team, the Saints, in Week 8. Graham isn't racking up tons of targets on a weekly basis but is still a legitimate red zone threat for a struggling Bears offense. The Saints have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including six touchdowns to the position through six games. Graham has at least 30 receiving yards in each of his last five games but also has four touchdowns on the season. The veteran tight end will, once again, be a touchdown-dependent option in Week 8.

Jimmy Graham Has Low Ceiling Against Rams

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against a Rams Defense that is allowing the 15th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Graham has been an excellent red zone addition to the Bears with four touchdowns in his first six games. But his production seems to be capping off around three-to-five catches and 30-40 receiving yards a game. Graham's value will be tied to touchdowns and could produce a modest fantasy line in PPR leagues but fantasy teams need to temper expectations against a tough Rams defense in Week 7.

The veteran, however, will be no more than a touchdown-dependent selection next week against the Rams on MNF.

Jimmy Graham Will Be Red-Zone Threat Against Carolina

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against a Panthers Defense in Week 6 that is allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Carolina has allowed only one touchdown to the tight end position this season but Graham has been fantastic in the red zone this season. The veteran has only 17 catches on the season but already has four touchdowns, including an incredible one-handed TD catch last week against the Buccaneers. Graham will have solid TE2 fantasy appeal in Week 6.

Jimmy Graham Lacking Targets Heading Into Week 5

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against a Buccaneers Defense in Week 5 that is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season.

The veteran simply is lacking the consistent targets to trust right now in fantasy, especially in PPR leagues. At best, Graham will be a touchdown-dependent option against a sneaky talented Tampa defense in Week 5.

Jimmy Graham Has Stiff Test Against Colts

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will have a tough test in Week 4 against the Colts. Graham is coming off a game against the Falcons where he caught six passes for 60 yards and one touchdown. Backup quarterback Nick Foles looked for the veteran pass-catcher often and now Foles is the starter moving forward. But the Bears offense will have a stiff opponent in a Colts Defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends through the first three games. Nonetheless, Graham will have intriguing value as a touchdown-dependent option at tight end in deeper leagues and DFS formats for Week 4.

The veteran tight end caught his first touchdown from Mitchell Trubisky, then made some excellent grabs in the second half with Foles that culminated in a three-yard catch for his second score of the day.

Jimmy Graham Tough To Trust Against Atlanta

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will try and up his production in Week 3 against the Falcons.

The veteran will go up against a Falcons Defense that has allowed a touchdown to a tight end in each of their first two games and currently are allowing the fifth most fantasy points to the position. Graham can be a weapon in head coach Matt Nagy's scheme but his lack of targets is sinking his fantasy value.

Jimmy Graham A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will be back on the fantasy radar heading into Week 2 against the Giants. Graham caught only three passes for 25 yards in Week 1 but brought in his first touchdown in a Bears uniform and had a second score expunged after an official review. The veteran will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option against a Giants Defense that allowed eight receiving touchdowns to tight ends in 2019, tied for third most in the league. New York attempted to revamp their defense in the offseason but already is dealing with injuries to the unit, a group that was beaten regularly by the Steelers in Week 1. Graham's value will be best utilized in DFS leagues and standard scoring formats for Week 2.

The veteran then almost came down with a second touchdown but, after a scoring review, the referees determined his knee was down before crossing the goal line. Graham is no longer the fantasy stud of seasons past but this is a positive start to a new era with the Bears.

Jimmy Graham Has Sleeper Value Against Lions

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will have a fantastic matchup Week 1 against the Lions. The former Pro Bowler was a huge disappointment in Green Bay the past two seasons and many national pundits think he is washed up. But Graham has drawn rave reviews during training camp for the Bears and head coach Matt Nagy will be making it a point to reincorporate the tight end position back into the offensive scheme. Graham will have a strong matchup against a Lions Defense that allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2019. The Lions allowed the ninth fewest targets to the position but opposing passers completed 68.8% of their throws, averaging 10.28 yards per completion. Graham could easily find the end zone Week 1 and could post top-10 numbers among tight ends out of the gate.

Jimmy Graham Gaining Sleeper Value

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham may not be on the fantasy radar heading into drafts but could play a significant role Week 1 against the Lions. Graham has enjoyed a fantastic camp and is looking to prove that he still has something left in the tank. The veteran caught only 38 passes last season for 447 yards and three touchdowns for the Green Bay Packers, leading many to believe he is far past his prime. While Graham may not be a TE1 this season, he certainly should see plenty of action through the first few games. The veteran will especially carry some intriguing DFS value Week 1 against the Lions.

Jimmy Graham Impressing In Camp

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham has looked like "hes been one of the best players on the field in camp," according to Bears beat writer Adam Hoge. The early reports in camp have indicated that Chicago's tight ends have been heavily involved in the offensive game plan through the first five practices. The veteran Graham signed a two-year deal after a disappointing season with Green Bay but has looked reinvigorated early on. Graham currently sits outside the top-10 rankings among tight ends in fantasy but early indications are that he could have a massive role early on in 2020. Whether Graham can return to Pro Bowl form is anyone's guess but the veteran is trending in the right direction.
