Jimmy Graham Week 20 Outlook -

It appears the Packers are dialing back Graham's snaps, maybe thinking that having him fresh when on the field will do good things for his production. He played just 24-of-63 snaps last week, which amounts to just 38 percent, and a season-low for him. In fact, both Marcedes Lewis (41) and Jace Sternberger (28) both out-snapped him last week. Not just that but the 49ers defense was the best in the NFL at defending tight ends this year. There were just four tight ends who tallied more than 32 yards against them this season, and three of them saw six-plus targets, something Graham has had just twice all season. One of the sticky stats for tight ends I tend to lean on is yards per target, as touchdowns and volume can skew overall efficiency. The 49ers allowed just 5.52 yards per target, which was easily the lowest number in the league, as no other team was below 6.14 yards per target, and just one team (Vikings) were below 6.72 yards per target. If you're playing Graham, you're doing it in tournaments only and looking for a touchdown for him to hit value.
