  • Finds end zone in Thanksgiving win

    Graham caught two of three targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in a 16-14 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving.

    Analysis: The 35-year-old tight end didn't see much volume, but he found the end zone for the first time this season and the 82nd time in his career on a 17-yard toss from Andy Dalton in the second quarter. Graham is firmly behind Cole Kmet on the depth chart for the Bears, but he still has some deep-league fantasy value as an occasional red-zone option.

  • First multi-catch game of season

    Graham caught two passes for 25 yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although he has just 64 yards on the season, Graham has been targeted three times in each of the last two games. He'll likely need to see a further increase in targets to be considered a reliable fantasy option.

  • First catch since Week 3

    Graham caught one pass for 28 yards in the Bears' 29-27 loss to the Steelers on Monday.

    Analysis: In addition to his long reception, Graham's other two targets were in the end zone, and he also had a potential touchdown negated by penalty. Despite the impressive red-zone usage, he's caught just two passes for 39 yards on six targets this season, making him a desperation fantasy option in most leagues.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Graham was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Graham missed two games after being placed on the list as a result of having tested positive for the virus. The veteran tight end is now free to return to team facilities, and therefore to take the field for the Bears' upcoming matchup against Pittsburgh on Nov. 8. During the first six weeks of the season, however, Graham only drew three targets.

  • Tests positive for virus

    Graham's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier Friday was the result of a positive test, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: According to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Graham is vaccinated, so he'll be eligible to rejoin the Bears as soon as he's asymptomatic and has tested negative on two occasions at least 24 hours apart. Graham won't have sufficient time to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, which kicks off at 4:25 p.m ET. The Bears are likely to turn to Jesse James as the primary backup at tight end behind starter Cole Kmet.

  • Placed on COVID list

    The Bears placed Graham on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Per Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Graham is vaccinated, so his placement on the list is likely the result of a breakthrough positive test. While he'll theoretically have a chance at playing Sunday in Tampa Bay if he's asymptomatic and submits two negative test results at least 24 hours apart, he's highly unlikely to clear all protocols ahead of the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Instead, the Bears will likely hope to have Graham available for their Week 8 matchup with the 49ers on Oct.…read more

  • Targeted once in loss

    Graham failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 26-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham has just a single catch on the season while playing limited snaps behind Cole Kmet, and he won't be a recommended fantasy option unless his situation changes drastically.

  • Zero targets Week 2

    Graham played 21 offensive snaps and was held without a target during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Graham saw his snap total increase from 14 to 21 in Week 2, but he was still held without a target. Graham's fantasy value has dwindled down to him being a touchdown-dependent streaming option as Cole Kmet has taken over the starting tight end duties in Chicago.

  • Minor role in loss

    Graham caught one pass for 11 yards in Chicago's 34-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham was targeted twice, but his lone reception came in the red zone, as he was stopped inside the five-yard line. Even though he played just 20 percent of the snaps, the fact he was used in the red zone indicates that he has the chance to score a touchdown in any given week, but it's unlikely he'll be a featured part of the Chicago passing attack with Cole Kmet now nearly a full-time player.

  • Makes 2021 debut

    Graham recorded one catch on one target for five yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Graham made his debut for the 2021 season, recording his lone catch of the day on the second play of the game. While he recorded 50 receptions and eight touchdowns in 2020, Graham slowly lost snaps to Cole Kmet (hamstring) down the stretch of the regular season. The pair figure to split reps again this season, though Kmet could be in line to take over the majority of the playing time on a more regular basis.

  • Contemplated retirement

    Graham admitted earlier this month that he briefly considered retiring after the Bears were eliminated from the playoffs in January, Alex Shapiro of NBC Sports Chicago reports. "I wasn't sure what I was gonna do," Graham said. "But I talked to [general manager Ryan Pace] and talked to [ head coach Matt Nagy], and I'm on board and ready to do whatever it takes to get back in that position and move forward."

    Analysis: Graham has a non-guaranteed $7 million salary in the second season of his two-year, $16 million contract, but he doesn't sound especially worried the Bears will release him. Second-round pick Cole Kmet handled more snaps at tight end down the stretch last year, but the rookie never made an impact in the passing game, while Graham had a team-high eight touchdown receptions. On the other hand, Graham managed just 9.1 yards per catch and 6.0 per target, and he averaged less than five targets per…read more

  • Finds end zone in playoff loss

    Graham caught two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 21-9 loss to the Saints in the wild-card round.

    Analysis: Graham saw both of his targets on the last drive of a blowout loss and scored a toucdhown as time expired. On the season, he caught 50 passes for 453 yards and eight touchdowns, and he'll enter 2021 in the last year of his contract. Graham will likely continue to lose pass-catching opportunities to Cole Kmet, making him a marginal fantasy option whose success will be largely dependent upon scoring touchdowns.

  • Quiet in defeat

    Graham caught two passes for five yards in the Bears' 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham was targeted just twice in a game during which the team threw 42 passes, and he was clearly the secondary tight end option behind teammate Cole Kmet, who was targeted eight times. After being a major component of the Bears offense during the first half of the season, he was consistently out-targeted by Kmet after the Week 11 bye. On the season, he caught 50 passes for 453 yards and eight touchdowns, and after the Bears finish their playoff run, he'll enter the last year of his contract,…read more

  • Scores twice in win

    Graham caught four passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago's 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even though Graham was fourth on the team with five targets, he was the preferred end-zone option for Mitch Trubisky, leading to his best fantasy performance of the season. Coming into this game, he was averaging 16 yards with one touchdown over the last five games, and he'll be a risky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Packers.

  • Targeted three times

    Graham caught two passes for 25 yards in Chicago's 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham received more targets than teammate Cole Kmet for the first time in three games, but Graham has posted just 80 yards and one touchdown over his last five contests. Therefore, he remains difficult to trust in Week 16 despite having an excellent matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Cleared for Week 15

    Graham (hip) is active Week 15 against the Vikings.

    Analysis: While Graham registered a pair of limited practices this week, the expectation was that the veteran tight end would suit up. He'll indeed be available as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, though it's worth noting he's been out-snapped by Cole Kmet in each of the past three weeks.

  • Likely to suit up Sunday

    Graham (hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Graham looked good in practice this past week and appears ready to give it a go Sunday. However, from a fantasy perspective, it's worth noting that fellow tight end Cole Kmet has emerged as the Bears' top option at the position of late, logging seven targets in both of the last two games.

    The Bears list Graham (hip) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: After beginning the week as a full practice participant, Graham downgraded to limited activity Thursday and Friday, prompting the Bears to give him a designation for their Week 15 contest. Even if he manages to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Graham could see his involvement in the offense dwindle further with Cole Kmet having seemingly usurped him as the Bears' top tight end.

    Graham (hip) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After practicing fully Wednesday, Graham's downgrade in activity Thursday may just be maintenance-related, but his status now will be one to watch as the weekend approaches. He's been relatively quiet over the last four games -- seven catches for 55 yards on 11 targets -- but he salvaged his day this past Sunday against the Texans with his first TD since Week 9.

    Graham caught four passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although Graham scored his second touchdown over the last eight games, he was targeted just four times while teammate Cole Kmet served as the clear receiving tight end with seven targets for the second week in a row. During the last four games, Graham has seen a total of 11 targets, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

    Analysis: After a solid start to the season, Graham has accounted for just 32 yards over his last three games while being out-targeted by rookie Cole Kmet during that time. In addition to his recent struggles, he scored just a single touchdown over the last six games while surpassing 34 yards on one occasion, making him difficult to trust during the fantasy playoffs.

    Graham caught three passes for 34 yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham failed to see a target until the game was well out of hand in the fourth quarter, but he ended up posting a decent yardage total. After a hot start to the season, he's failed to find the end zone in five of his last six games, and he's surpassed 34 receiving yards on only two occasions this season, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

  • Disappearing act in defeat

    Graham was shut out on two targets in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

    Analysis: Graham was shut out for the first time this season, and almost every time the Bears found themselves in an obvious-passing situation, the Vikings brought heavy pressure, forcing Nick Foles into a number of errant throws, and Graham was rarely in the area where the quarterback was forced to throw. He's been held to 35 yards or fewer in six of his last seven games, and his ceiling is typically dependent upon him scoring touchdowns.

  • Scores fifth touchdown of season

    Graham caught all six of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: After falling behind by double digits in the first half, the Bears were forced to throw the ball more than usual, helping Graham to his second-highest yardage total of the season while also grabbing a late touchdown after the outcome of the game had been decided. Through nine games, he's averaging just 34 yards, making him mostly a touchdown-dependent weekly lineup option.

  • Listed as 'full' Thursday

    Graham (knee/hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, rookie tight end Cole Kmet (groin) wouldn't have practiced if the Bears had held practice. If the TE group is down one player Sunday in Tennessee, Graham could be even more utilized than he has been this season. Through eight games, his offense snap share has ranged between 62 and 80 percent, which has translated to a 29-247-4 line on 49 targets.

  • DNP on Wednesday

    Graham was held out of practice Wednesday with knee and hamstring injuries.

    Analysis: Prior to Wednesday's session, Graham frequently didn't take the field for the first practice of the week in what the Bears had usually terms as veteran days off. He now has a pair of injuries attached to his name, however, but thus far, the Bears haven't suggested his availability for Sunday's game in Tennessee is in any peril. Aside from four touchdowns, Graham has only put up 29 receptions for 247 yards over 49 targets through the Bears' first eight games.

    Graham caught two passes for 13 yards yards in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although Graham was tied for second on the team with seven targets, he was consistently taking big hits from the New Orleans defenders, which caused him to struggle to secure a number of reception attempts. He's now scored just once over his last five games while failing to surpass 34 yards in any of those contests, and he remains a touchdown-dependent lineup option for fantasy managers.

    Graham caught five passes on six targets for 31 yards in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Analysis: Graham was a non-factor while the game was close, but he was able to haul in four of his five passes in the second half to somewhat salvage his fantasy day. Even though the Bears were deep in the red zone on two different occasions, however, he didn't see any of Nick Foles' end zone targets.

  • Fails to find end zone

    Graham caught five passes for 34 yards in the Bears' 23-16 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham continued to be heavily involved in the Bears' offense, as his eight targets trailed only Allen Robinson. Although he's typically very busy in the red zone, it was Cole Kmet who was the tight end on the receiving end of Chicago's only passing touchdown. Graham has now posted 33 or 34 yards in each of the last three games, but it's his ability to score touchdowns that affords him weekly fantasy upside.

  • Finds end zone again

    Graham caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 20-19 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Especially in the red zone, the Bears continue to feature Graham, often isolating him against cornerbacks when lining him up as an outside receiver, as they did on his touchdown reception. Although his yardage has been inconsistent on a weekly basis, he's now scored in three of five contests, making him a reasonable starting option in typical 12-team leagues.

  • Targeted five times in loss

    Graham caught four passes for 33 yards in Chicago's 19-11 defeat to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham was blanked in the first half, but after the Bears fell behind by double digits, they had to lean heavily upon the pass, and as a result, Graham ended up with a respectable five targets. He'll likely continue to be a factor when Chicago is in the red zone, but he's also averaging six targets per game, giving him a decent weekly floor for a tight end.

    Graham caught six passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago's 30-26 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Bears playing from behind for most of this contest, they were forced to go with a pass-heavy attack, resulting in Graham being targeted 10 times, which was second on the team behind Allen Robinson. He was also targeted in the end zone on two different occasions, but both attempts fell incomplete. Once Nick Foles took over under cente forr Mitchell Trubisky early in the second half, it was clear that Foles was very comfortable throwing the ball to his tight end, leading to seven of his…read more

  • Targeted once

    Graham caught one pass for 18 yards in the Bears' 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Bears leading throughout, they were very conservative on offense, as only Allen Robinson saw more than three targets. Graham saw just a single target, which was a massive difference from the seven he saw last week. Aside from his Week 1 touchdown, he has just 43 yards over two games, and he has the look of a low-floor, low-upside weekly fantasy option.

  • Scores in Chicago debut

    Graham caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 27-23 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Graham was second on the team with seven targets, and he could've had a second score had Mitchell Trubisky thrown the ball on target. It's clear that despite the low yardage total, Graham will be an important part of the offense, making him a volume-based second tight end for fantasy managers.

  • Lead tight end to begin year

    Graham is expected the be used in a pass-catching role as the Bears' No. 1 tight end, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-TImes reports.

    Analysis: After signing Graham to a two-year, $16 million contract in March, the Bears went ahead and selected Cole Kmet in the second round of April's draft. GM Ryan Pace quickly clarified that Graham will be the main pass catcher of the two while Kmet gets his NFL footing in a run-blocking role. It won't be a zero-sum game, though, as coach Matt Nagy plans to increase the team's usage of 12 personnel (two tight ends) with Graham playing out of the slot at times.

    Graham is viewed by Bears general manager Ryan Pace as the pass-catching tight end after the team drafted Cole Kmet in the second round, reports

    Analysis: When discussing the tight end roles on the team, Pace explained that Kmet will be the Y tight end, meaning he'll be placed on the line of scrimmage to block frequently while Graham will be the pass-catching U tight end, who will function as a slot receiver.

    Analysis: Considering the uncertainty elsewhere in Chicago's tight end group, Graham forecasts to serve as the team's No. 1 tight end in 2020, with $9 million guaranteed on the deal and the potential to earn $16 million overall. In two seasons with the Packers prior to his release last Thursday, the 33-year-old notched 93 catches (on 149 targets) for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns across 32 games.

    Analysis: Graham was among a run of splashes at tight end for the Packers in recent years, accounting for 93 receptions for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns over the past two seasons. At 33 years old, he still has some tread left on the tires and can get a jump on free agency following this move.

Graham will have the ability to sign elsewhere immediately after accounting for 93 catches (on 149 targets) for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns over two modest campaigns in Green Bay.

  • Likely to leave Green Bay

    Graham is expected to part ways with the Packers during the offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Graham would earn $11.7 million in 2020 if the Packers were to retain him, while Green Bay would save $8 million by cutting him. The tight end caught just 38 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 2019, production that just isn't worth his current salary rate. Assuming Green Bay moves on from Graham, 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger would likely be the next man up for starting duties.

  • Could stay with Packers?

    General manager Brian Gutekunst said he was pleased with Graham's contributions to the Packers in 2019, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Graham had some nice moments, including two solid games in the playoffs, but the overall picture was a 38-447-3 receiving line in 16 regular-season games for a player in the second year of a three-year, $30 million contract. It's hard to make any reasonable argument for the Packers retaining the 33-year-old without some form of pay cut on his $7.45 million base salary (per overthecap.com) for 2020. The team could instead look to external options or 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger to fill…read more

  • Big catch in season-ending loss

    Graham secured four of five targets for 59 yards during the Packers' 37-20 loss to the 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end amassed the majority of his production on a 42-yard second-half grab that was initially ruled a touchdown and then reversed on replay. Graham was second in receptions and receiving yards behind Davante Adams for the night, capping off a quiet second season in Green Bay during which he generated a 38-447-3 line across 16 games. Graham is on the books for a likely untenable $11.7 million in 2020, a figure that strongly portends a contract restructure or a release for the…read more

  • Nets 49 receiving yards

    Graham caught three of four targets for 49 yards during Sunday's 28-23 divisional-round win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Graham finished second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, though his modest totals in each category were nothing to write home about. He did make a couple of flashy plays, however, including a 27-yard grab and a crucial third-down conversion in the final minutes. With that said, Graham simply isn't a focal point in the offense and seems unlikely to produce notable numbers during next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

  • Gets in some practice Thursday

    Graham (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday after receiving a veteran rest day Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: It should be noted a wrist designation was noted as well, but Graham has been playing through it since early December. While he was targeted 17 times over the last four regular-season games, he gathered in just nine of those passes for 114 yards and no touchdowns. There's little doubt about his availability for Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Seahawks, who allowed the second-most yards (1,099) to tight ends during the regular season and nine catches (on 12 targets) for 117 yards…read more

  • Most receptions since Week 9

    Graham was targeted seven times and caught four passes for 49 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: The four receptions were Graham's most in a game since Week 9, and the 49 yards were tied for the fourth most he put up in a game this season. With the Packers' next opponent uncertain, it remains to be seen what type of matchup he will face in Green Bay's first playoff matchup.

  • One catch in win

    Graham (wrist/groin) brought in his only target for 16 yards in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Vikings on Monday night.

    Analysis: Graham saw just a single target for the fourth time this season, which naturally kept his night decidedly modest from a fantasy perspective. The veteran tight end is on the downside of an impressive career, and he's been hampered by multiple injuries throughout the campaign. Graham will be little more than a speculative option for season-long championship games and DFS contests in Week 17's matchup versus the Lions.

  • Cleared to play Monday

    Graham (wrist/groin) doesn't carry an injury designation for Monday night's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Graham -- who has caught 33 passes for 382 yards and three TDs in 14 games to date -- hasn't missed a regular-season tilt since 2015, but a lack of consistent volume has hindered his fantasy impact this year. He's been held to one catch in three of his last four contests and remains a speculative lineup option in Week 16.

  • Limited at practice again

    Graham (wrist/groin) remained limited Friday at practice.

    Analysis: Graham rarely leaves the injury report but hasn't missed a game since 2015. His lack of volume is the real concern for fantasy managers, with the veteran tight end drawing five or fewer targets in each of the Packers' past 10 games. Graham should be fine for Monday's game in Minnesota.

  • Limited Thursday, per usual

    Graham (wrist/groin) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Such is Graham's routine at this point in the season. The limitations haven't exactly helped him produce on game day, as he's surpassed 50 receiving yards just three times while scoring three TDs across 14 contests. In Week 15, Graham even ranked behind fellow veteran Marcedes Lewis in terms of offensive snap share (42 versus 54 percent). Consequently, Graham is a far cry from the fantasy star that roamed the field for the Saints and Seahawks earlier in the decade.

  • No yardage in Week 15

    Graham was targeted four times and had one reception for zero yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Graham has battled all of wrist, groin and calf injuries the last several weeks, and that has resulted in him playing well below 50 percent of the offensive snaps since the Packers' Week 11 bye. As a result, he was targeted only 12 times and tallied just six receptions for 72 yards -- with most of that coming Week 14 -- over the last four games. He'll be tough to trust in important Week 16 fantasy matchups facing a Vikings defense that shut him out entirely Week 2 and has ceded just one…read more

  • Active Week 15

    Graham (wrist/groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears.

    Analysis: Graham has made his presence routine on Packers injury reports this season, but this week marked just the second time the team designated him as questionable. In the end, he wasn't in danger of suiting up with a Bears defense on tap that has conceded the third-most catches to tight ends (81) through 13 games.

  • Deemed questionable, officially

    Graham (wrist/groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago.

    Analysis: Graham was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, nursing a groin injury in addition to his long-standing wrist issue. There hasn't been any report that he's actually in danger of missing the game, but it's at least worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Graham (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

    Analysis: Graham typically sheds his designation by the end of each week, so Friday's injury report may clear up his availability, per usual. Assuming he gains clearance to play Sunday, he'll be attempting to exploit a Bears defense that has allowed the third-most catches (81) to tight ends this season.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Graham (wrist) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Graham put together one-catch performances in both of the Packers' two post-bye week contests, but this past Sunday against the Redskins, he bounced back with three receptions for 49 yards across five targets. His practice reps are capped on a weekly basis, so there's little worry about his availability for a matchup with the Bears this weekend.

  • Three catches in Week 14 win

    Graham secured three of five targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 20-15 win over the Redskins on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end had one of his more productive days of the second half of the season, checking in second only to Aaron Jones in receiving yardage for the day and drawing the third-most targets. Graham has eclipsed 20 receiving yards in only two of the last six games when factoring in Sunday's performance, however, so he remains a low-floor play in all formats heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Bears.

    Graham (calf/wrist) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Redskins.

    Analysis: For the second week in a row, Graham was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report before logging back-to-back limited showings to wrap it up. With no designation attached to him, he'll again lead the Packers' tight end group, which also includes a motley crew of Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

  • Upgrades to limited showing

    Graham (calf/wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Graham is following the same practice regimen (DNP/LP) as he did last week, which culminated with a 'limited' listing Friday and no designation for the Packers' Week 13 visit to the Giants. Assuming the preceding comes to pass this week, he should receive the highest share of offensive snaps among the team's tight ends Sunday versus the Redskins ahead of Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

    Analysis: Graham kicked off last week as a non-participant in practice, only to follow it up with "limited" listings on the next two injury reports and no designation in advance of a 31-13 win over the Giants. While he proceeded to play 42 percent of the offensive snaps in the victory, he caught his only target for 16 yards. Assuming he suits up again Sunday, Graham will have a more favorable matchup against a Redskins defense that has given up five catches for 53.1 yards per game and five touchdowns to…read more

  • Just one catch again

    Graham was targeted once in Sunday's victory over the Giants and caught one pass for 16 yards.

    Analysis: The Giants have done a good job shutting down opposing tight ends this season, and they did so again Week 13, as Graham finished with only one catch for the second week in a row. That output certainly will not help fantasy players in Week 14 playoff matchups, but Graham will at least have a chance to better his recent production, as he and the Packers will square off against a Washington team that allowed opposing tight ends to average 5.3 receptions, 68.7 yards and a touchdown over its last…read more

  • Good to go for Week 13

    Graham (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: As per usual, the Packers put a cap on Graham's practice reps this week, with the tight end sitting out Wednesday's session before garnering "limited" listings Thursday and Friday. The lack of full activity shouldn't result in Graham's snaps being restricted Sunday, as he's played at least 40 percent of the offensive plays in every game this season despite being a fixture on the Packers' injury reports.

    Graham (calf) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Upgrading from Wednesday's DNP, Graham is on his way to getting past the calf injury that's currently plaguing him. Assuming he's able to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Giants, he'll be looking to bounce back from his one-reception outing from a Week 12 loss in San Francisco, which marked his lowest catch count in a game since getting blanked in Weeks 2 and 3.

  • Tending to calf issue

    Graham was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: Graham has dealt with a number of lower-body issues this season, but this is the first time that a calf injury has made an appearance. Despite being banged up, he's played at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in seven of the Packers' 11 contests this season. However, he's topped out at 65 yards (Week 7 against the Raiders) in a given game, while scoring three touchdowns along the way. With another health concern in tow, Graham's status bears watching as the week continues.

  • Limited to one reception

    Graham caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Graham could have had a few more yards had he come down with a tough catch in the second quarter, but he was only targeted twice on a night the 49ers shut down the entire Packers passing game. His quiet evening did not come as much of a surprise against a San Francisco team that has shut down opposing tight ends all season; and in the same manner, fantasy players should not be shocked if Graham struggles again Week 13 facing a Giants team that has limited opposing tight ends to just 3.1…read more

    Graham caught two passes for 59 yards in Sunday's victory over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Graham would have had a better than average day had a touchdown he scored just before halftime not been overturned on replay, but alas, he was limited to just the two receptions. Luckily for fantasy players, one of those was a 48-yard catch-and-run on that same second-quarter drive. Those who have been counting on Graham in fantasy lineups will want to have another option on hand the next couple weeks, as the Packers will have a Week 11 bye before facing a San Francisco team that has ceded the…read more

  • Four receptions in defeat

    Graham caught four passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The four receptions are the second most Graham has totaled in a game this season, but the 17 yards also tied for his fewest since he was held catchless in both Weeks 2 and 3. Graham's production has been inconsistent all season, but with that being the case for many tight ends and him scoring three times -- as many or more than all but three other TEs -- he has done just enough to be considered as a standard-league starter at his position. That may not be the case in Week 10, however, as the…read more

  • Available to play Week 9

    Graham (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Graham's participation in practice was limited all week due to the ankle issue, but that was probably for maintenance purposes more than anything else. Given his lack of an injury designation, Graham can be expected to play the majority of the tight-end snaps in Week 9, as has been the case in all but one of the Packers' eight games this season.
