Jimmy Graham Shut Down by 49ers

Found November 26, 2012 on Fantasy Football Champs: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jimmy Graham,  Patrick Willis,  Navorro Bowman,  Drew Brees,  David Thomas,  Jed Collins
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints,  San Francisco 49ers
New-orleans-saints
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham only had four receptions for 33 yards on six targets Sunday against the 49ers, but it wasn't due to a lack of playing time. Graham played 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps, tops on the team among any WRs, RBs and TEs. SOURCE: Adam Caplan, TheSidelineView.comFantasy Spin:San Francisco arguably has the fastest linebacking corps in the NFL, with Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman blanketing the inside. Graham also had to stay in and block more than usual as Drew Brees was under duress for most of the game. With Graham covered, backup tight end David Thomas and fullback Jed Collins both caught touchdowns.

Video: Saints' Brodrick Bunkley ejected after kicking opponent in head

Via Bush League Chronicle  |  November 25, 2012
 Is it just me or has there been a spike in unsportsmanlike behavior in the NFL this season? New Orleans Saints lineman Brodrick Bunkley attempted to one-up Ndamukong Suh's groin kick on Thanksgiving by delivering a little swift kick of his own on Sunday. Watch as the former first round draft pick takes out his anger on San Francisco's Alex Boone by booting him in the back...

Still eying playoffs, Saints get ready for Falcons

Via AP on Fox  |  November 27, 2012
Drew Brees happily entertains playoff possibilities for the New Orleans Saints, figuring that the question of whether a 5-6 team deserves to be in the NFC wild card race is irrelevant. He has a point. Despite an 0-4 start and their latest loss on Sunday to San Francisco, New Orleans remains one game out with five games left. To Brees, that means the Saints are virtually in control...

This is just a terrible choice on Bunkley’s part.  The referee’s saw it and he was ejected from the game, and deservedly so.  I’m not sure what possessed Bunkley to do this, every time I watch it I can only guess that Boone said something to him as Bunkley was hunched over him right before he kicked him.  He will probably incur a fine and a suspension of some sort.My only...

Marques Colston lands on his head after hit by 49ers defender (Video)

I'm still trying to figure out how New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston didn't end up seriously injuring himself on this brutal hit from yesterday's Saints/49ers game. The incident happened in the third quarter of play as Colston was hit low by 49ers safety DaShon Goldson and was sent helmet first into the Superdome turf: Thankfully for Marques...

In what surely will result in a hefty fine from the league, Saints DT Brodrick Bunkley did his best Ndamukong Suh impersonation by kicking 49ers OL Alex Boone in the head. He was promptly ejected from game.

Scared money makes no money. Going into the matchup between San Francisco and New Orleans, we could infer that coach Jim Harbaugh gambled with house money from week eleven.
