    Jimmy Graham sucks now

    Not quite sure what to do with him next week in the playoffs. Scoring 4 or 5 points certainly isn't helping me, since he is my 3rd best player and really needs to come up big for me to win.

    Anyone else unhappy with him and considering a change?

    I traded for him just as he was coming off his ankle injury and before he had that couple week explosion.

    But yeah the last two weeks have been a bit of a disappointment when I have needed him most. But that is the nature or the receiving positions in fantasy football. He is a top 20 receiver in non-ppr fantasy leagues coming into this week despite missing two weeks. That is nothing to sneeze at.

    In that league he is going to be a lock start for me down the stretch and I say that having one of the deepest WR corp you can have (5 top 30 receiver scorers so far and 6 of 35). Fantasy so much is who gets into the end zone on a given week. And Graham, while he hasn't done it in a couple of weeks, is more likely than most receivers to be celebrating in the end zone on any given week.

    It's not like he's been getting 0 points on 1 target games like Vernon Davis, you can't really bench this guy. 59 yards last night wasn't terrible, not every game is going to be a 30 point eruption, you don't bench your studs. Be patient.

    3 straight weeks of <10 points in a non-PPR.

    Most people drafted him very high to get more than 6 points a game.

    Be happy you don't own Gronk....

    The best FFL TE this year is Gonzalez....Graham and Gronk are better players, but have gotten dinged up...

    That's what they get for using a 1st/2nd rounder on a TE? Idk what to tell ya, bench him if you want it's your team lol, I'm just saying I wouldn't advise it.

    Who would you rather have for the last 4 games, Graham or Aaron Hernandez? Schedules are about equal.

    Don't know, I'm going to start him, just expecting more. I'm a little weak elsewhere so I need him to have big games.

    I ask because that is part of a trade package I am discussing and I have Hernandez.

    With Gronk and now Edelman out? I'd say Hernandez and Welker would be pretty nice to have right about now.

    Oh please, Brees faced some tough defenses and has been in a mini-slump. The man is stud and you'll be happy when their offense takes off again.

    Sucks is a little harsh--you could be an Antonio Gates owner, then you would know what sucking is.

    But yes Graham has slowed down and Brees has been slumping, as I know as a Brees owner.

    Glad I didn't trade Hernandez for him thus far!

    I won last week, probably screwed this week. Going against the #1 seed and his team is tough. I have Rodgers and Graham. Both have been putting up terrible numbers lately.
