NFL 2018: Fantasy Football: 5 Players That are Currently Being Overvalued

#2 Jimmy Graham

Arizona Cardinals v Seattle Seahawks

Jimmy Graham hit gold this offseason by signing a 3 year $30 million contract with the Green Bay Packers. Whilst Graham is still a great threat in the end zone, he is nowhere near as effective in other areas of the field.

In 2017, Graham recorded his lowest catch total in a 16 game season since his rookie year. His YPC also dropped dramatically to 9.1 compared to 14.2 in 2017. This shows that Graham isn’t getting downfield much nowadays, and is, therefore, more of a short pass target than in previous years.

He is playing with one of the best QBs of all time in Aaron Rodgers, so he will have some fantasy value as he’s likely to score 10 TDs. The problem I have with him is where he is being drafted. Graham’s current ADP is at 5.03 and the 4th TE off of the board. For me, this is way too high.

I have him ranked below Greg Olsen, Kyle Rudolph and Delanie Walker. I would much rather select a younger, more athletic talent in the 5th, such as Jarvis Landry, Marvin Jones or Ronald Jones. Graham will be fantasy relevant this season with the Packers. I just don’t like where he is currently being taken.
