New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) caught three passes for 30 yards and two scores in the Pro Bowl Sunday, Jan. 25, and when asked if his performance would rule out surgery, he said, "It should, which is really exciting."

Fantasy Tip: Graham's comments aren't a guarantee that he will avoid going under the knife, but it is certainly a good sign. If healthy, he is the second-best option at the tight end spot for fantasy owners.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) said he'll rehabilitate his shoulder injury after the Pro Bowl, but he hasn't made a final decision on surgery. "It's something we talked about and is something that's still being debated," Graham said. "This is kind of a trial to see where I'm at. I've had three weeks off and I've finally had some time to heal. It feels great, and I'm going to continue to do my rehab and get back to 100%."

Fantasy Tip: Graham will likely be one of the top two tight ends to target again in traditional drafts next season if intrusive surgery isn't required.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) has still very much been bothered by a shoulder injury that he suffered earlier this year, and he said he's still managing pain "every day" that has affected his blocking abilities. "At times this year the shoulder has really held me back sometimes," Graham said. "Other times I'm able to fight through the pain. I just got to man up and keep doing it."

Fantasy Tip: Graham's zero-catch, zero-target day in Week 13 had more to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers' game plan against him, but his injury shouldn't completely be ignored. Moving to Week 14, we expect Graham to make much more noise against the Carolina Panthers at FantasyScore for $7,900.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham did not have any receptions in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was not even targeted once. Graham targeted the two safeties for Pittsburgh, FS Will Allen and SS Troy Polamalu, for breaking his crossing routes. "Usually (defenders) wait until I break," Graham said Sunday, Nov. 30. "(Polamalu and Allen) are smart players. I can tell that they're watching a lot of film and looking at tendencies and formations and splits."

Fantasy Tip: It was a tough pill to swallow for fantasy owners in weekly leagues, as Week 13 is the final week of the fantasy regular season in most standard formats. And Graham was an expensive miss for those in FantasyScore leagues, and no one would have predicted zero targets for Graham.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham will likely be covered by Cincinnati Bengals LB Emmanuel Lamur in Week 11. Lamur makes the most sense to cover Graham because of his combination of athletic ability and size (6-4, 240 pounds). However, Lamur has struggled against tight ends this year; According to ESPN Stats & Information, four tight ends caught a combined 28 passes for 339 yards, three touchdowns and 18 first downs with Lamur on the field. Lamur has faced the likes of Baltimore Ravens TE Dennis Pitta, Tennessee Titans TE Delanie Walker, New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski and Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen this year.

Fantasy Tip: Graham is unsurprisingly one of the most expensive tight end options at FantasyScore ($7,900), but he should put up good numbers against Lamur and the Bengals reeling defense. Consider him for your lineups.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is listed as probable for Week 10.

Fantasy Tip: Graham is one of the top tight ends in fantasy and probably is worth his $7,900 price tag on FantasyScore if owners are willing to spend the money.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Nov. 6.

Fantasy Tip: Graham ($7,900, 15.8% of cap) is on track to play in Week 10, and he should be one of the top options at the position at FantasyScore with the Saints playing at home against a San Francisco defense with a banged up group of linebackers.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in practice Wednesday, Nov. 5.

Fantasy Tip: Graham should be fine for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers barring any setbacks, but FantasyScore owners will want to wait to finalize their lineups until Friday. If he is probable, spend the $7,900 (or 15.8 percent of the cap) on Graham.

New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham, who had a team-high seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 9 win Thursday, Oct. 30, said a vicious hit earlier in the game inspired him to be more aggressive and physical against the Carolina Panthers. "I just need to play more emotional," said Graham. "I think early I wasn't playing emotional enough -- at least for me. I think I need to bring it that way on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and in practice. And when I do that, I think it adds something not only to my game, but it helps spur our offense."

Fantasy Tip: Graham appears back to full health after putting up touchdowns in his last two games. It's also not a coincidence that the Saints offense has been back in a groove with Graham more involved. You should feel comfortable paying for Graham in daily fantasy leagues moving forward.
