Who all is starting him? Just heard he would be playing a reduced role. Should I start him tonight or look to another TE?

Nah, the reduced roles have come the last two weeks. Think he played a healthy percentage of the snaps against Jets.

To me, Graham hasn't played much in the first half of the last two games and played a lot more in the second half.

That's what I've been noticing.

56 snaps vs Jets
33 vs Dallas
51 vs 49ers.

Really wish I could find % of snaps played in first half vs second in the last two games.

Where did you hear this?

Roto:

quote:

Jimmy Graham (foot, elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday night's Week 12 game against the Falcons. Advice: Graham is going to play. He got in three limited practice sessions this week and should play his normal complement of snaps. Graham is a top-two TE play.

Even with a reduced role of say 4 targets, 2-3 of those targets will be red zone targets and result in like 2 TDs.

12 targets last week. If Jimmy Graham is active, you should start him in all formats IMO.

I would have given your post an upvote if you could have gotten one more negative into it.

The only other TE that I would start over Graham is Gronk.

I never took him out the slot. I'm so lucky to have Julius Thomas (ppr) as a backup in case he goes down. I had tried to pawn him off earlier in the year but no takers, now I have the #1 and #2 TEs in the league and have had them since game one.
