The enthusiasm of Fantasy owners over Texans tight end Garrett Graham after a Week 4 performance in which he caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown was heightened when he became the starter upon the departure of Owen Daniels due to injury.
That enthusiasm waned Sunday when he caught just two passes for 25 yards and no scores. It must be understood that Graham was the only Houston tight end targeted in that game and that he's still working out a relationship with quarterback Matt Schaub.
Fantasy owners should give the situation time to work itself out and keep Graham firmly on the bench in Week 7, especially considering that Schaub could be sidelined and that the Chiefs boast statistically the strongest pass defense in the game.
The three CBSSports.com senior Fantasy writers rank 24 tight ends every week and Graham showed up on only one of their lists. He was placed at No. 20 by Jamey Eisenberg. So keep Graham on your bench unless bye weeks or a lack of talent on your roster at that position dictate otherwise.
