BALLER MOVE: Target ~105
CURRENT ADP: 115.9
ANALYSIS: Jimmy Graham was the top tight end in both 2012 and 2013, the latter of which saw him post 218 fantasy points. Since then, however, he has had to fight through injuries and adjust to a new system. In 2015, his first year with the Seahawks, he tallied just 48 catches for 605 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games played.
However, Graham’s targets were down in Seattle, and he managed a 65.8% catch percentage that is on par with those of his past seasons. Really, his only on-field issue was opportunity— he 29-year-old saw just eight red zone targets. Now, the Seahawks are without Marshawn Lynch, and red zone looks are up for grabs.
Graham is coming off a ruptured patellar tendon and was just recently lifted from the PUP. The injury is a risk, but there is still a chance that he could be ready for Week 1. At his current draft price, Graham is a steal given his ability to return to the top of his position.
