Fantasy Impact:
The Seahawks biggest need on offense was a legitimate red-zone target going into this offseason. This move takes care of that weakness. Although Seattle is a run heavy offense, owners should expect their coaching staff to have a plan on how to use him, especially after giving up another first round pick in wake of the failed Percy Harvin experiment. Graham should have an opportunity to get into the end zone just as often as he did with the Saints, but a drop in receptions and yards should not be a surprise. With Julius Thomas moving on from Peyton Manning, Graham still should hold on the #2 TE slot behind Rob Gronkowski.
