Inactive versus Falcons
Graham (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Falcons, John Hendrix of Saints News reports.
Analysis: This will mark Graham's fourth straight game on the sidelines and third as a healthy scratch. The veteran tight end's next opportunity to see the field will come in one week versus the Lions.

Won't play Sunday
Graham (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: This is the third game in a row that Graham will sit out. The last two he was a healthy scratch. He has just one reception for the season, which was an eight-yard touchdown in Week 3 against the Packers.

Gets extra rest Wednesday
Graham (rest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Graham has not suited up for either of New Orleans' last two games, and he's now limited to start the Saints' new week of practice. His odds of playing in Week 10 would get a big boost if he were able to practice in full Thursday or Friday.

Sitting out Sunday
Graham (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bears, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Graham (rest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Graham sat out of Sunday's win at Indianapolis with an illness, so it's a bit concerning to see him limited for any reason to start the new week of practice. He'll likely need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Won't suit up Sunday
Graham (illness) is out for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Graham popped up on the injury report after logging a limited practice session Thursday. Luckily for the Saints, tight ends Juwan Johnson (calf) and Taysom Hill (calf) will play in Sunday's game, so the lost depth of Graham will be mitigated.

Questionable due to illness
Graham (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis.
Analysis: There appears to be a bug going around the Saints' locker room, as Graham is among three players listed as questionable due to an illness heading into the weekend. The veteran tight end has just one catch so far this season, though that was an eight-yard touchdown grab Week 3 against the Packers.

Dealing with illness
Graham (illness) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: The details of the ailment are unknown at this point, but with Juwan Johnson (calf) and Taysom Hill (chest) also limited at practice Thursday, it's something to keep an eye on ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Graham will probably carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he practices in full Friday.

Targeted once in blowout
Graham failed to haul in his lone target during Sunday's 34-0 win against the Patriots.
Analysis: Graham recorded just his second target through five games so far this season. The 36-year-old saw extremely limited playing time over the first three games of the season, but he's seen more playing time with No. 1 tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) sidelined over the last two games. Graham lined up for 62 and 37 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps in Weeks 4 and Week 5, respectively. His lack of offensive involvement over these two games indicates that Graham is, at best, just an emergency…read more

Nonfactor in starting role
Graham notched zero targets during Sunday's 26-9 defeat versus the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Graham was the only tight end to log a snap for the Saints in Week 4, as Foster Moreau (ankle) was inactive while Juwan Johnson (calf) was ruled out shortly after kickoff Sunday. Graham wound up playing 65 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps, though he still never saw any usage as a receiver. The 36-year-old has totaled just one target across four games so far this season, and it appears his fantasy value will be limited to the occasional red-zone target in the Saints' struggling offense.

Catches first TD of 2023
Graham caught his only target for eight yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 18-17 defeat to the Packers.
Analysis: Graham scored a vintage red-zone touchdown with his first target of the 2023 campaign, going up for an eight-yard reception in the end zone during the first quarter. The 36-year-old fulfilled a larger role with usual TE2 Foster Moreau (ankle) inactive Week 3. However, Graham still logged three fewer targets than starting tight end Juwan Johnson, and he also saw as many targets as hybrid tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill. Graham's touchdown is likely indicative of how New Orleans would like to…read more

Nonfactor Week 1
Graham recorded zero targets during Sunday's 16-15 victory against the Titans.
Analysis: Graham didn't play much of a factor during his first NFL game since the end of the 2021 campaign. Instead, starting tight end Juwan Johnson was the Saints' only tight end to receive any targets (five) from Derek Carr, as Foster Moreau also went without any targets Week 1. Graham was one of the NFL's best red-zone targets during his prime with the Saints and Seahawks from 2011 to 2017, though it's unclear how effective he'll be during his age-36 season. Still, it will be worth seeing how he's…read more

Makes final 53-man roster
Graham was not included in the Saints' final cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline, NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: New Orleans coach Dennis Allen reiterated Tuesday that Graham's performance over the final two weeks of the preseason went a long way toward securing him a roster spot. The 36-year-old unexpectedly signed a one-year deal with the Saints in late July after he sat out the entire 2022 season, as it seemed like his time in the NFL may have come to an end following a career-worst season with the Bears in which he caught 14 of 23 targets for 167 yards and three touchdowns. His comeback to New Orleans…read more

Vintage performance Sunday
Graham (illness) had three receptions (four targets) for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's preseason finale against Houston.
Analysis: Graham returned to action in style after missing last week's preseason tilt due to a non-football-related medical issue. The long-time Saint got the start at tight end with Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau all sitting out the final exhibition showcase. Graham turned in a vintage performance highlighted by a short touchdown in the second quarter in which he used his 6-foot-7 frame to body the slot corner assigned to him in coverage. Perhaps the 36-year-old can survive Tuesday's…read more

Looks good in return to practice
Graham (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Graham had a medical episode Friday but has been cleared to resume practicing. The 36-year-old tight end is battling to make the team, and head coach Dennis Allen said Graham looked good in practice Wednesday. Allen added that Graham did some of the things that he did in the past; Graham was one of the league's most productive tight ends for the Saints during his prime, highlighted by a 16-touchdown season in 2013.

Expected to practice soon
Coach Dennis Allen doesn't expect Graham, who had a medical episode Friday night, to miss a significant amount of practice time, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Allen indicated that the tight end could be back on the field as soon as Wednesday, but either way Graham, who the Saints believe potentially had a seizure Friday, is expected back soon. "I think the important thing is that Jimmy is OK, and we plan on having him back out here and giving him an opportunity to prove he should be part of the team," Allen noted of the 36-year-old, who signed a one-year deal with New Orleans on July 25 after spending 2022 away from the NFL.

Recovering well
Saints coach Dennis Allen said that Graham (illness) will not suit up for Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers but that he is still in a good spot while recovering from Friday's medical episode, according to team reporter Erin Summers.
Analysis: Graham's recovery timeline is still unclear, as not all of the specifics of his medical episode Friday have been made publicly available. However, he was apparently doing well enough to travel with the team to SoFi Stadium and watch Sunday's preseason tilt from the locker room, according to Jeff Duncan of The Athletic. Graham's final opportunity to suit up this preseason will come versus the Texans on Sunday, Aug. 27.

Experiences medical episode
Graham had what the Saints described as a medical episode Friday evening in Southern California, which resulted in the tight end being taken into custody by local authorities, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: In a statement posted Saturday, the Saints noted that Graham was subsequently "transported to a local hospital for evaluation for what Dr. John Amoss believes to be a likely seizure and spent the night under medical supervision and testing." The statement added that Graham was released from the hospital Saturday morning and is with the team in advance of Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers.

Targeted twice in season finale
Graham caught two passes for 16 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns.
Analysis: During the season, Graham caught two or fewer passes in each game he played, though almost half of his targets came in the red zone, where he still showed the ability to box out defenders and score a few touchdowns. The 35-year-old is unlikely to see high target volume in 2022, though he could continue to see end-zone targets if he's on an NFL roster. Although he technically has four more years on his contract, all are void years, and the team can move on from him with no cap penalty.

Shut out in win
Graham failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Graham broke a string of seven straight games in which he caught one or two passes. He'll likely be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Scores third touchdown of 2021
Graham caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Although he wasn't a factor for most of the game, Graham caught the game-winning touchdown from Nick Foles in the last minute of the contest. Although he's scored three touchdowns over the Bears' last five games, Graham only has eight receptions over that span, and he'll be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 17 against the Giants.

Posts one reception in loss
Graham caught one pass for 13 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Aside from his lone reception, Graham failed to box out a defender on an end-zone target that should've resulted in a score. Over the last three games, he's recorded four catches for 17 yards, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in the fantasy playoffs.

Clear for Monday
Graham (knee) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: After kicking off Week 15 prep with limited listings on the first two Bears injury reports, Graham practiced in full Saturday and is ready to go Monday. The team's tight end corps looks better at tight end now than it did just a few days ago, with potentially just Jesse James (undisclosed) unavailable due to his standing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Graham should handle his typical 20 percent share of offensive snaps, shuffling onto the field behind Cole Kmet.

Remains limited in practice
Graham (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Graham maintained his same level of activity from Thursday's walk-through session and may need to return to practice Saturday as a full participant to avoid carrying a designation into Monday's game against the Vikings. Since the Bears' Week 10 bye, Graham has been the clear No. 2 tight end behind Cole Kmet, playing no more than 30 percent of the offensive snaps in any of the team's last four contests.

Listed as limited Thursday
Graham (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Who may be available at tight end for Chicago on Monday against the Vikings is in flux. Not only is Graham on the injury report, Cole Kmet and Jesper Horsted didn't practice Thursday due to illness, and Jesse James (undisclosed) was one of five Bears to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Those four players aside, J.P. Holtz is the sole healthy TE on the active roster.

Targeted three times in defeat
Graham caught two passes for nine yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Graham continues to operate behind Cole Kmet in the pecking order for tight-end targets in the Bears offense, and although he's scored twice over his last three games, Graham's average of 15 yards per game makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Finds end zone again
Graham hauled in a one-yard touchdown in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Graham was targeted once, while teammate Cole Kmet had seven passes thrown his way. Over the past few weeks, the majority of Graham's targets have been near the end zone, and his fantasy value is highly dependent upon his scoring touchdowns on his limited targets, especially with Kmet being the team's primary receiving tight end.

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.

Targeted once in loss

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.

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.

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.

Analysis: The report notes that Graham looked good in practice this past week and appears ready to give it a go Sunday.

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 failed to catch his lone target in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
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.

Four targets in defeat
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.

Quiet in defeat
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.

Targeted six times in defeat
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. Graham's now posted between 31 and 34 yards in each of his last four games while finding the end zone once during that span, and although he has a moderate floor, his fantasy value is usually derived from…read more

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.

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.

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.

Heading to Windy City
The Bears signed Graham to a two-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

The Packers released Graham on Thursday.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
