Jaeden Graham Fantasy

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.
