Jimmy Graham has a broken thumb

[Poppa San]

Tonyan is a welcome addition to the receiving corp. Outside of Adams, he was the only guy that got separation against coverage. He should get more opportunities. Here's his draft grade:

So why the eff is he listed as a WR in my FF league?

McCarthy said that Graham intends to play through his broken thumb injury...

Damn. Gotta love that about him.

I have a certain feeling about Tonyan... i think he has the IT factor, i think he gets it, whatever that means, lol. i think he is going to be a player.

I thought that said that he has the "TT Factor". Was thinking you meant we are going to have to wait 4 years to see if he develops, give him a second contract if he has a few decent games or cut him loose after 4 years to watch him become a star elsewhere.

If brett can pass with 1, Jimmy should be able to catch 1

That's an expensive decoy.

that's what he's basically been all season. he's now going to try to play so i guess it's going to continue.

And yet he was headed for one of the better TE seasons in Packers history. If only all the decoys were so productive.

 

[Mike McCarthy]

All the criticism for graham but atleast he’s going to try to play through it, how bout COBB??? Where’s that dude been since week 1?

 

[Djepacker]

Still have M. Lewis too

that's a pretty low bar since 2010. what do your eyes tell you about how he's been used? why are there so many topics on chat boards, twitter, etc, wondering why he hasn't been what everyone expected? he's been open a lot, made some plays, but his lack of impact is mostly on rodgers.

I think his lack of impact may be tied to expectations.... and his high salary.

and...only looking at his receiving stats. It's been pointed out numerous times by other posters, but how much attention is Graham taking and how has that helped other Packer receivers?

It's been a pretty low bar for most of the period the poster referenced - Packer history

Since 2010 includes 2011, one of Finley's better years, and, by extension since he was the receiving TE everyone wanted, one of the Packers better years.

Great question. I picked him up as a possible fill-in for Kittle. Now I don't know whether to drop him. He has potential.

His role should should be strictly in the red zone.

It's why I dropped him when I wanted a spot. He'll never play over my top 10 WRs.

For some reason NFL.com FF rarely allows players to have multiple positions. Last I could think of was Ty Montgomery a few years back.

Tonyan is listed as a TE on Yahoo FF.

MM just said graham went through his normal practice reps and everything went well.
