Jimmy Graham - TE - Saints

Jimmy Graham (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 at Tampa Bay.

The Saints have made the announcement, perhaps in response to PFT's report that Graham is not traveling with the team. David Thomas is likely to take over as the passing-down tight end, though he hasn't topped 50 yards in a game since the 2009 season. Even worse, Thomas hasn't posted double-digit yards in a game the past two years. We would advise looking elsewhere for a fantasy fill-in. Expect Drew Brees to lean heavily on Marques Colston, Darren Sproles, Lance Moore and Devery Henderson.

Jimmy Graham - TE - Saints

A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that Jimmy Graham (ankle) will not make the trip to Tampa Bay in Week 7.

The bye week just wasn't enough for Graham's ailing ankle. He'll stay in New Orleans and try and heal up in time for Week 8 in Denver. Graham was going to be a true game-time decision if he had made the trip this week, and he had even been called "as questionable as it gets." Fantasy owners need to adjust their lineups accordingly. Look to the Titans-Bills game at Jared Cook or Scott Chandler. Both could be good bets to find pay dirt this week.

Julio Jones has to be in the conversation with all the hype surrounding him... he was #2 WR on several big boards

That title still belongs to Chris Johnson, the defending early round bust Champ!

Chris Johnson without question gets the title, I agree Roadie. But Jimmy is creeping up

They'll still be throwing a lot

Play on Wrs and tes

Chris Johnson has the title, hands down.

Should've known better with CJ

I might have caught a break, though my opponent has a decent backup in Heath Miller starting in his place. Pencil in 75 yards and at least 2 TD's for Heath.

D.Thomas got J.Graham's TD.
