Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is looking at an average matchup Week 16 against the Panthers.
Carolina has been slightly better than average against opposing tight ends this season, holding them to 7.43 Fantasy points per game. The Panthers actually do a good job limiting tight end yardage, but struggle once teams get into the red zone. Tight ends have scored eight touchdowns against the Panthers. The team has only allowed 14 passing touchdowns all year, so that's a significant amount.
Even if it was a tough matchup, Fantasy owners aren't going to sit Graham. He may be coming off one of his worst games of the season, but Graham has been a Fantasy monster this year. Graham is also not affected as much by the team's home/road splits. He has four fewer touchdowns on the road, but has tallied more receptions and more yardage away from New Orleans. He continues to be a strong play regardless of matchup.
