Jimmy Graham used as a blocker in Green Bay

Jimmy Graham warned fantasy owners after offseason workouts that he would be used as a blocker more in Seattle, and Sunday night we saw exactly what he meant. Graham saw only 2 targets in the Seahawks 27-17 loss in Green Bay and was often lined up opposite where the play was actually headed. (source)
Fantasy Impact:
Fantasy owners have to be getting worried as the three targets in two games is the lowest target total in a two-game span since Jimmy Graham's rookie year. Russell Wilson and Jimmy Graham are obviously still developing chemistry as every critical throw seemed to head in the direction of Doug Baldwin. The gap between Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski continues to widen and this paltry amount of targets isn't going to help things. If you own Jimmy Graham you're likely going to continue playing him as his red zone presence is second to only Rob Gronkowski, but if you happened to snag a player like Tyler Eifert on waivers it's possible that you look to start him until Graham has found his place in offense.
