Of the top 20 receivers (yards) this season, only one has a better percentage (and he's a running back)

Jordy Nelson 63%
Antonio Brown 67%
Julio Jones 64%
TY Hilton 68%
Golden Tate 72%
Alshon Jeffery 67%
Demarius Thomas 56%
DeSean Jackson 54%
Emmanuel Sanders 73%
Jeremy Maclinn 45%
Dez Bryant 63%
Delanie Walker 64%
Reggie Wayne 63%
Andre Johnson 63%
Kelvin Benjamin 56%
Julian Edelman 71%
Greg Olsen 64%
Matt Forte 83%

Just curious, is Forte the only guy you'd trust on this list?

Also, there are only two guys on that list that have fewer targets than Graham, Walker and Jackson, so by comparison, it's hard to say the Saints are forcing the ball to Graham.

Reason I don't trust graham that much is because when the ball isn't perfectly thrown he will give a half hearted effort and either tip it up into the air (which subsequently gets picked off) or just reaches out with one hand and drops it.
