Though Saints tight end Jimmy Graham hardly disappointed his Fantasy owners with 45 yards and a touchdown grab in Week 1, he showed the full extent of his potential in Week 2, catching 10 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown. So is that second performance more along the lines of what you can expect from him Week 3 against the Cardinals?
"[Week 2] was just one of those nights for me and Drew," Graham told the Saints' official website. "He was constantly looking for me and we're trying to exploit that matchup quite a bit, and it was just a night for me. You never know what it's going to be in this offense. Last game [against Atlanta] it was [receiver Marques] Colston, and you really just don't know."
True, but the Cardinals haven't exactly been shutting down tight ends this season. They were responsible for Rams tight end Jared Cook's 141-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 1, let's not forget. Their best coverage guy, Patrick Peterson, will more likely be tasked with covering Colston.
Graham is right to an extent. His week-to-week production will be somewhat unpredictable in a loaded Saints passing attack. But as the best of the bunch, his numbers will almost always be good. This week, they're likely to be great.
