Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has been dealing with a foot injury that kept him out of practice this week, but he has finally returned to the practice field on Sunday and now has a chance to suit up for this Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Graham was limited in the practice and will be a game-time decision, according to the most recent reports.

From Mike Tripplett of ESPN’s Saints NFL Nation site:

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?

The Saints offense needs Graham, who is off to an incredible start this season, to return in order to have their full ability to make plays.

Along with the Saints, the fantasy football owners who have been benefiting from Graham’s excellent start to the new season would love for him to suit up and help lead their team to victory in Week 8.

Roto fantasy has knows Jimmy would be a game time decision all week.

Oh he's playing.

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

Good to see him back on the field, but I sure wouldn't rush him into a game.

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

I'd like to see him this week, but it is more important to have him the rest of the season, so if he isn't healthy they should keep him out.

Sit him

No need in risking further damage

I'm sitting him in fantasy this week, just in case. Shouldn't hurt me too much, since I'm 6-1 and going against the worst team in the league. And, since Heath Miller is a pretty good backup.

But, they should sit him in real life, too. It's just the Bills. Let him rest and let Watson get some catches.

Its just the bills. that's the type of thinking that caused the pats to lose last week.

:idea:

Put him out there for a few snaps.
Especially for a running play

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

Use him as a decoy...

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

He is not playing today according to ESPN

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

Ben Watson, you are starting this game my friend.

No need to force jimmy out there if he's not healthy

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

I wonder if we actually needed Jimmy today. Doesn't feel good to say that. I think we lean on him way too much.

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

Boy, was I wrong!

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

lmao we all were, If jimmy felt comfortable on his foot (which he seemed to, never noticed a limp) then giving him redzone duties to either use him as the decoy or capitalize on his size was the right thing to do.

I think the bills thought he was being used as a decoy in the redzone, which is why 2 of his 3 grabs went for TD's

:doh:

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

How many total plays was he in? Three catches & I think only thrown to 3 times.

Re: Jimmy Graham returns to Saints practice; will be game-time decision
 

I think that I read somewhere that I will never find again that he was I'm on 26% of the plays.
