whoever drafted Jimmy Graham is going to get burned

[JT 137]

Hope you guys are ok. T&P

[cavern 70]

i'm hanging in there, but it's difficult. i reread the book of job as a way to cope

[highsider5 36]

3catches.... 18.70 points... even 'injury' is getting burned, it's unfugginreal

[Sho Nuff 719]

Glad I did not get burned by benching him....played J. Reed instead...only a 6 point or so difference.

Calvin more than made up for it...

 

No burns here.

[Stewburtx8 67]

I will say this as a Graham owner. Yesterday's line was pretty fortunate. He only played 18 snaps and scored 18+ fantasy points. Tough to duplicate that again. I'm worried that his foot isn't going heal and he will continue to be limited like this.

My thoughts exactly. I'm wonder if I should deal him now to secure a #1 RB? I've been offered Charles for him & one of my bench wr's.

Second that. With snaps that limited, you have to rely on TD's, which IF he does not get in for a TD, stat lines will be tough. Debating on trading him for a QB to replace Brady, but not sure what I would get for him... Package him with a middling WR or RB maybe? I think Charles for Graham would be a good trade...

[Stewburtx8 67]

I'm considering packaging Graham and Lamar Miller to try to get a Matt Forte in a PPR league. I own Jordan Reed to replace Graham (I've been using Reed as a flex).

I love this thread!

[Eddie Kennison 12]

Scalding hot burns. Arrggggghhhh!!'

[BigDaddy808 8]

Had a feeling I'd be seeing this thread today

[Dsausage 36]

Thread of the year.

[stonewall 647]

Yes, biggest FAIL thread this year (with Megatron being on the decline a close second), but let it rest FCOL

[FrogAssassin 6]

Thread of the year.

Does this even approach the TOMMY MADDOX thread?

 

Just like saying megatron is better than jerry rice..everyone forgets those who have come before.

Considering the op is a troll, I dont know if it can reach that epic standard. Still, this is definitely a major fail for the op whether he was trolling or not.

[WR Guru 31]

Whatever pain meds JG is taking on Sundays, I'd like to get some.

[Serpent 51]

never draft a TE this early

 

he was going round 2 or 3? lol

 

way too many good wr and rb to pass up

 

Are you still around? Or did you run away in shame?

[GreenTD 56]

I've been chewing on Tums ever since this thread started. Thanks OP!

I agree - Jordan Reed will give you the same production as Graham - good luck with that;)

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I have gotten burned so bad this year that Grahams new nick name should be the Ghost Pepper.

[parrot 789]

Graham owners after 9 weeks;

 

 

 

[jrbdmb 28]

Jimmy Graham owners are going to get burned ... any week now.

 

And after Week 1 I thought my team's Jared Cook was a poor man's Jimmy Graham. Instead he was just poor.

 

 

 

"Would you like to play Global Thermonuclear War, Professor Falken?"

"No, Joshua, I would prefer to play Jimmy Graham. Much more exciting than silly Global Thermonuclear War."

[JT 137]

Ahhh... hello, old friend.

[parrot 789]

Burned again last week, only 23 points!

[highsider5 36]

ahh, my favorite thread backfire of the modern era.. hello old thread

[GS3K 12]

I am getting burned, because my team is on fiyah!!!

[NewbieJr 540]

The only bad thing is that track_1 was eliminated from the playoffs in all of his leagues and hasn't been back online since week 9 to see what an embarrassment his thread turned out to be. Well, all of his threads, actually.

[edjr 5,567]

I drafted Graham, but after reading this thread I scooped Jordan Reed off the waiver wire and dropped Graham.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, no I didn't. I remembered I'm not retarded.

[Sho Nuff 719]

Hoping to not be burned by going against Graham this week in a TD heavy league...while also not wanting to be burned by him sucking for me in another league.

 

I feel either way...there will be some burning going one.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Hoping for graham to have a ton of yards because TEs get .15 point per yard while everyone else gets .1 point per yard. Graham = mvp.

[unckeyherb 2]

He's 4 TD's away from setting the all time TE record for TD's (Gronk holds it at 17). There is no way that Brees is going to look elsewhere these next few weeks. He'll be force-feeding him (not like he doesn't already) in the RZ and at the goal line. He could have a 3 TD week coming up.

[jrbdmb 28]

Well have to admit Graham owners just got burned big time. But the ride was fun while it lasted.

[BufordT 371]

I finally got burned by Jimmy in one league. Didn't hurt too bad, though, went against Jamaal and got whipped by over 100 points. It was a quick death.

 

Still have Graham in another league, see what happens next week.... that is along as Big Ben scores less than 41 points tonight.

[uwmalcolm 73]

Ouch. That burned badly at a pretty inopportune time. Lucky to still have a shot in 1/3 of the leagues I had him in. Glad the Saints lost at least...fock them for barely trying to get him involved. And it also looked like he was playing pretty tired/slow some of the time. Good for the Seahawks at least

[Sho Nuff 719]

Perfect day for Graham for me.

Still won the league I have him in with Lacy beasting late...and I still have Megatron left.

 

Other league I am going against him I have a small lead still.

[stonewall 647]

It took awhile, but the burning finally occurred......and at an incredibly inopportune time.

[swirvenirvin 25]

he sucked in playoffs last yr too. Luckily I still crushed and can use him next week for the championship!!!!

[WR Guru 31]

Graham was the target on both of Brees's INTs. He definitely soured on throwing Graham's direction after the picks.

 

Brees chucks it 56 times and Jimmy Graham catches 2. That's got to be one of the more dumbfounding stats on the season.

 

The foot and elbow injuries have definitely slowed Graham since he was an absolute monster earlier in the year. He's failed to top 60 yards in 7 of his last 9 games. His dwindling catches and yards has been disguised by the fact that he has continued to get into the endzone at a steady clip. Take away one long catch against Atlanta and we'd be looking at a 6 week stretch of sub-60 yards.

[GreenTD 56]

It was fun while it lasted.

[Buttmonkey 8]

Thanks to Eldleman, Brown and DJax - I'm rolling with Graham to the promise land. Glad the Saints lost - now they "must" win the game in Carolina to secure the division and a bye - they'll be more motivated and Graham will perform better than today.

 

Even if he goes scoreless - there's no way i wouldn't have drafted him if I had to do it over.
