Jaeden Graham Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Falcons re-signed tight end Jaeden Graham as an exclusive-rights free agent to an undisclosed deal on Friday. In 32 career games for the Falcons over two seasons, Graham has just 12 catches on 15 targets for 174 yards (14.5 average) and one touchdown. He was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 draft out of Yale. The 25-year-old spent the 2018 season on the practice squad but has appeared in every game over the last two years. Graham had three catches for 25 yards (8.3 average) and no touchdowns in the 2020 season and also contributed on special teams. If anything were to happen to Hayden Hurst, Graham could step into a much bigger offensive role for an offense that can put up points with the best of them.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham had a solid performance against the Saints on Thanksgiving. He caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and scored the first touchdown of his career. Graham has seen some extra opportunities in the absence of Austin Hooper (back) the past three weeks, but this was his first game with over two targets. The Falcons have a long week of rest prior to their Week 14 game against the Panthers and there's a chance that Hooper will be back. The team was also without Julio Jones (shoulder) for this game, which helped Graham as well.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham made his biggest play of the year in Week 12, reeling in a 53-yard reception against the Buccaneers. Unfortunately, that was his only catch in the game. Graham has been the team's primary pass-catching tight end since Austin Hooper (knee) has been out, but that's not really saying much as he has only three catches the past two weeks. Hooper appears likely to miss his third straight game this week and the team could be without star receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) as well. Jones's absence could provide a few additional opportunities for Graham, but he's still a very risky play as it's unlikely he'll see more than four or five targets, and even that is being a bit generous as his season-high in targets is two. Avoid starting Graham this week unless you have no other options.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham had just one reception in Week 12, but luckily it was the team's biggest offensive play of the day. Graham had a 53-yard reception that nearly equalled the 55 receiving yards he had all year coming into the game. With Austin Hooper (knee) out, Graham has seen a slight uptick in opportunities, but he's yet to do much of anything with them, apart from his big Week 12 catch. The Falcons have a short week of rest with a game against the Saints on Thanksgiving, so Hooper might very well be out again in Week 13. However, Graham is far from a safe starting option going forward.

There is certainly an argument that Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham deserves starting consideration for Week 12. Austin Hooper (knee) has been ruled out for the game and Graham was the only Falcons tight end to receive a target with Hooper sidelined in Week 11. Furthermore, Julio Jones (foot) is currently questionable for the game and if he sits or plays at less than 100%, Graham would certainly get at least a minor boost. Graham reeled in both of his targets in Week 11 for 23 yards. He was unfortunately out-snapped in the game by fellow tight end Luke Stocker. Stocker played 43 snaps while Graham logged 34. Stocker has nine targets on the year compared with Graham's four. The tight end situation with Hooper out is likely more of a 50/50 split than a one-man show. Avoid starting Graham until further notice.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham wasn't very involved in the offense in Week 11, catching his only two targets for 23 yards in the game. Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones did most of the damage for the Falcons in the game and there wasn't much need for extra help as the Falcons cruised to a 29-3 victory over the Panthers. Graham is someone worth keeping an eye on as he figures to be the No. 1 tight end in a prolific passing offense for as long as Austin Hooper (knee) is out and that should be at least a few more weeks.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham has an opportunity to carve out a short-term role in the offense this week with Austin Hooper (knee) sidelined. The team may also be without Luke Stocker (knee), who is dealing with a knee injury. Graham has just two targets on the year and has caught both of them for a total of 32 yards. The Falcons have a prolific passing offense, and Hooper established himself as one of the most consistent and reliable fantasy tight ends out there this year. Hooper could miss about a month, which opens up an opportunity for Graham to be a sneaky tight end option in the coming weeks. This week, however, he's too risky to trust as a starter.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham had a solid night against the Miami Dolphins Thursday. Graham registered three reception, on four targets, for 36 yards, adding to the 11 yards he had in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Graham saw extended time in this game with the trio of Austin Hooper, Logan Paulsen and Eric Saubert not registering a reception. Graham is unlikely to be on the Falcons roster when the season opens but his performance in this game could have earned him a practice squad spot.
