Jimmy Graham Fantasy News 2013/14

ESPN's Adam Schefter reiterated on NFL Insiders Monday that Jimmy Graham (foot) is still "uncertain" to play in Week 8.
The Saints are coming off a Week 7 bye, but Graham isn't back to 100 percent yet. "It's questionable as to whether he can get back this week," Schefter said of the No. 1 overall fantasy tight end. Not including Rob Gronkowski (one game), just four tight ends have scored 12.5 or more standard-league fantasy points per game this season: Graham, Julius Thomas, Vernon Davis, and Jordan Cameron. Every one else is at 9.5 points per game or below. Even including a Week 6 goose egg, Graham has averaged a whopping 15.9 fantasy points per game.

Jimmy Graham (foot) is active and will start against the Bills on Sunday.
Graham is dealing with a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot. He's clearly not 100 percent. When Graham is playing, it's hard not to plug him into fantasy lineups. Unless you have another capable TE1, Graham should be in your starting lineup. Graham is fully expected to be on a snap count, but it's entirely possible he sees a few red-zone targets. He's still a TE1.

ESPN Saints blogger Mike Triplett believes there's a "small chance" Jimmy Graham (foot) will not play Sunday against the Bills, "or will just be a decoy."
Triplett acknowledges whether to play Graham in fantasy is "a very tough choice." Graham barely practiced during the week, and there is almost every reason to believe his snaps and usage will be "limited" against Buffalo. Rotoworld's Pat Daugherty has Graham at No. 10 overall among fantasy tight ends. The line of demarcation for a banged-up Graham is just ahead of Kyle Rudolph.
