What's wrong with Jimmy Graham this year? If you're purely interested in his performance as a fantasy football player, you may not think he's been that bad. He's on pace for about 70 receptions for 850 yards and 11 touchdowns this year. Not bad for a tight end, right? But if you're a Saints fan and you've watched the games, you know he's had a miserable year. Consider that Graham is currently on pace to produce 28% less receptions and 38% less yards than last year. Should we expect him to set record breaking numbers every season? Of course not. But this feels like a baseball hitter following up a borderline .400 type hitting season (aka record breaking) with a mediocre .250 campaign. And before you start blaming his bum ankle, the problems this season started long before that. Statistically it gets a lot worse.
Jimmy Graham is currently second in the entire league with 7 drops. Only a rookie running back has more, as Doug Martin of the Bucs currentl...

Just how bad are the Saints? Historically bad as the Saints rank dead last in the NFL in total defense and are on pace to set the league record.
They have surrendered 474.7 yards per game and have allowed...

Fantasy football can at times be a very funny place to seek help when you need it most. One week, a so called “expert” will tell you to start “Player A” because “Player A” is a “can’t miss” starter who will blow up that week. A week later, that expert will deny giving that advice to their readers or followers but will be more than happy to tell you to start “Player...

Saints learn how opposing defenses must've felt
The New Orleans Saints are learning how opposing defenses must've felt the past few years.
Picked apart.
Run over.
Beaten down.
The Saints' defense is on pace for a truly historic season, and that's not a good thing. They have already become the first team since at least 1950 - maybe ever - to give up more than 400 yards in seven straight games. On average, they&...
