BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: George Kittle is on a league of his own (24.7 PPG). Then, Travis Kelce, Jonnu Smith, Robert Tonyan, and Darren Waller are all averaging between 16.4 and 14 PPR points per game. Behind those five, though, the TE position is just a mess without anything clear. Among the group of players with 10+ PPG through W5 TNF is Jimmy Graham, Chicago's no. 1 tight end and reborn-über-veteran.
Graham's 2020 season could hardly have been better so far. Jimmy has scored 4 touchdowns (second only to Tonyan) already and has caught 17 of his 27 targets playing under both Mitchell Trubisky (duh) and Nick Foles (meh). He has racked up 169 receiving yards for an average 11.1 yards per reception. Look, Graham is past his peak, but he's keeping up his value in an offense that doesn't have many weapons and has to rely on him heavily.
One of the most appealing traits of Graham's abilities and usage: the amount of red-zone looks he's getting and the TD-scoring prowess. Graham leads all tight ends with 7 targets inside the 20-yard line through TNF, with a 28% team share on red-zone targets. Five of those 7 targets ended in the end-zone, and Graham converted 4-of-5 in TDs. He's also running routes on 90% of his snaps, only blocking in the remaining 10%.
Graham has turned into one of the best tight ends to play weekly to start the year and his rostership of over 40% already shows how fantasy GMs are catching up to his exploits. Be sure to add Jimmy to your roster before it's too late if you have been streaming the position and don't have any better option in your squad.
