#6 Green Bay Packers TE Jimmy Graham

I’m very interested to see what Jimmy Graham can do in the Packers offense this season. He started out as one of the biggest tight end weapons while in New Orleans during the first portion of his career. The Saints failed to utilize his talents early on properly but started getting him more involved in his final seasons with the team.

Graham, 31, has signed this offseason with the Green Bay Packers who look to get back to the postseason with quarterback Aaron Rodgers returning. Being paired with a quarterback like Rodgers will increase Graham’s opportunities in the upcoming season.

He will also have some great matchups as the Packers have some solid weapons at the wide receiver position. Last season Graham led the league in red zone targets with 29 which brought ten touchdowns.

While he’s not the middle of the field threat he once was early in his career, Graham is still one of the biggest threats in the red zone. When inside the 20, I expect Graham to be the number one target for Aaron Rodgers this season. It would not surprise me to see another double-digit touchdown season for Graham in an offense that tends to put up major points with Rodgers under center.
