Dave Richard: 'Jimmy Graham Not 100 Percent, But You Gotta Start Him This Week'
BOSTON (CBS) - Dave Richard of CBS Sports fielded many calls from the listeners on 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher & Rich show Thursday morning and gave them his expert fantasy advice for the upcoming Week 8.
Rich was curious to get Dave's opinion on Jimmy Graham.
The Saints tight end has cracked the 100-yard threshold just once and has just three touchdowns on the season, hampered by a shoulder injury the past few weeks. In his most recent game, a loss to Detroit on the road, the former college basketball star played just 30-of-75 snaps and caught zero of his two targets.
"He practiced yesterday. My guess is he'll practice all week. He won't play at one hundred percent. You're going to be upset if you started him last week, but I just think this week against Green Bay is a really favorable matchup. It's going to be a high scoring game. I think Graham can bounce back, so I would start him this week if I had him. They went to the tight end on Sunday, just not him because he didn't play that much."
After the Graham discussion, Richard took your calls.
Listen below for all his advice!
