Description: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham had just his second 100-yard game of the season Sunday versus Carolina while also catching his ninth touchdown. | Insight: Graham's numbers -- 85 catches, 982 yards, 9 touchdowns -- look nice but fantasy owners expected more from a first- or second-rounder. | | |

Description: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham missed Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury which has plagued him all season. It shouldn't keep him out of Sunday's game. | Insight: It could be part of the reason Graham leads the NFL in dropped passes. Despite that, he's still caught 76 balls for 867 yards and eight touchdowns and is a stud at his position. | | |

Description: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has been playing through an "ongoing" wrist injury all season, interim coach Joe Vitt said. SOURCE: Larry Holder, New Orleans Times-Picayune | Insight: We think increased defensive attention has more to do with Graham's somewhat disappointing season than any wrist injury. Graham has been blanketed by coverage all season and as a result only has 64 receptions for 710 yards. The tight end is on pace for 85 receptions for 888 yards and 10 touchdowns in 15 games, still good numbers but not what fantasy owners expected from a first- or second-round pick. | | |

Description: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham only had four receptions for 33 yards on six targets Sunday against the 49ers, but it wasn't due to a lack of playing time. Graham played 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps, tops on the team among any WRs, RBs and TEs. SOURCE: Adam Caplan, TheSidelineView.com | Insight: San Francisco arguably has the fastest linebacking corps in the NFL, with Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman blanketing the inside. Graham also had to stay in and block more than usual as Drew Brees was under duress for most of the game. With Graham covered, backup tight end David Thomas and fullback Jed Collins both caught touchdowns. | | |

Description: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) traveled with the team to Denver but he'll be a game-time decision Sunday night, according to NBCSports.com. | Insight: Graham has been dealing with an ankle sprain since Week 5. The team had a bye Week 6 and he sat out last Sunday. With the Saints scheduled to play Sunday night, it is a huge gamble to put Graham in your starting lineup unless you own Jacob Tamme or Joel Dreessen. Saints backup David Thomas scored a touchdown in Week 7 versus Tampa Bay but he only has four catches this season and isn't much of an option if Graham is out. | | |
