Jimmy Graham Fantasy

The Chicago Bears activated tight end Jimmy Graham from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Graham tested positive for the virus and missed the last two games while on the league's COVID-19 list. The 34-year-old will be back in action in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's a pretty unattractive low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 at this stage of his career in an offense that doesn't like to throw the ball with rookie quarterback Justin Fields. In six games this year, Graham has just one catch for 11 yards on three targets. Cole Kmet is the better fantasy option at tight end in Chicago, but even he has an underwhelming 22 receptions for 197 yards on 36 targets in eight games.

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham was placed on the COVID-19 list on Friday, which means he will need two negative tests 24 hours apart to be eligible to play in Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. Graham hasn't been much of a factor in the offense so far this season, as he has caught just one pass for 11 yards on three targets. In his likely absence, Cole Kmet will be the No. 1 option at tight end and could offer some streaming appeal at an extremely thin position. Kmet has totaled nine targets in his past two games and could once again see some good usage as rookie quarterbackJustin Fields will likely be forced into a pass-heavy game script.

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham is not on the fantasy radar despite a favorable matchup Week 5 against the Raiders. Las Vegas currently is allowing the 10th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends but the veteran tight end has been non-existent. His snap-count is at a career-low and second-year player Cole Kmet is the unquestioned TE1 on the team. Graham will occasionally pop with a red zone touchdown but is not a fantasy option for Week 5's slate of games.
