Jimmy Graham (TE, CHI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: When it all looked like TE Cole Kmet was Chicago's present and future just two weeks ago, we're now back jumping on veteran Jimmy Graham's train. This guy is infinite, folks, but he could very well turn into the winning play for you fantasy GMs still fighting for championships this upcoming weekend.

After a good-not-great start to the season and a rather bad span of games from W10 to W15, Jimmy let us know about his fantasy upside this past Sunday facing the Jaguars and putting up his second-highest tally of the season with 22.9 PPR points. That score was boosted but his two touchdowns on the day, something that isn't entirely rare in Graham's game logs as he's adept at catching balls inside the end zone.

Graham didn't see a ton of volume, finishing with just five targets. He did the most of them, turning four of those in receptions and two of those four in touchdowns, which... nice. The Packers are next in Chicago's final game of the season, and although Green Bay has the fourth-best defense against fantasy TEs this season odds are they ease things a little bit with their campaign already done and hoping to get some rest to be fully fit for postseason play.

No matter what, Graham looks like a solid streaming option next weekend for those in slightly deep leagues and a must-have-and-start player in 2TE and super deep formats.
