| Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros | Graham has seen at least 5 targets in all but one game this season, and he's already scored four times in just six contests. Squaring off against a worse-than-average TE defense, Graham is fine to deploy as a TE1 in Week 7. | |
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Over the past four games, Graham has seen 28 targets. He's clearly a part of this passing attack and he always has the potential to get his number called in the red zone. Fire up Graham as a mid-range TE1 this week in a fine matchup for opposing TEs. | |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | Sure, Graham has at least five targets in 5-of-6 games, which is great for a tight end. However, he's topped 34 yards just once and has touchdowns masking that inefficiency. He is tied with Travis Kelce for the most targets inside the red zone (10) and ranks second in targets inside the five-yard line (4), so we have to factor that in, especially when Allen Robinson is going to be shadowed by Jalen Ramsey. The Rams have allowed just 5.43 yards per target to tight end, which is essentially what Graham has averaged, though tight ends have been funneled targets against them. They've faced 53 targets, the fifth-most in the league, which has allowed tight ends to produce. They've allowed three top-12 tight end performances, even though just one tight end (George Kittle) has topped 42 yards. It's similar to the way it always is with Graham; he's a touchdown-or-bust play, though he may see more targets than normal this week. Consider him a mid-to-high-end TE2. | I wish we could get just one of these guys active on gameday each week, as they've combined to receive a 17.0 percent target share, but when you start dividing that up, it becomes a mess. Akins has missed the last two weeks with a concussion though he has practiced in a limited capacity. He should be expected back soon, but if he remains out, Fells gets a big jump in the rankings, as he did the last two weeks. Due to the limited plays their opponents have, the Packers have faced just 27 tight end targets through five games, or 5.4 per game. They've been below average on those targets, allowing a massive 10.0 yards per target, which ranks as the second-most in the NFL, but they've allowed just one touchdown, so when you factor in the limited targets, it drops them in the fantasy points allowed category. Rob Gronkowski was the first tight end to finish better than TE12 against them, but he also saw eight targets a number we know neither of these tight ends is getting if they're both in the lineup. If Akins is active, he's the preferred option, but not a great TE2 option. If Akins is out again, Fells would become a middling TE2 option with some touchdown upside in a game that's projected for a lot of points. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Graham has had a bit of a rebirth early this season as the 7th ranked fantasy tight end. He is an upside TE1 against the Rams 20th ranked fantasy tight end defense. | |
