Earnest Graham Opportunities Abound

LeGarrette Blount is all but ruled out the next two weeks. Early unconfirmed reports are also stating that his MCL sprain is actually a tear and he could miss 4 - 6 weeks. This leaves Graham with a lot of touches laying around. Graham has already been averaging just over 8 touches a game through five weeks. He also is currently 5th among running backs in targets ahead of known reception hogs Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy. Blount himself was averaging 16 touches a game so all things considered Graham is looking like a lock to get 20 touches a week for the foreseeable future. (that is of course unless you think Kregg Lumpkin and his 2 carries for 7 yards on the season will be fighting for starting duties) Graham has been the starter before and even on a struggling team facing decent opponents the next couple weeks his known touches alone make him a valuable flex or solid #2 RB. If he is a free agent currently in your league stop reading now and pick him up. If he is already on a bench try making a low end trade now before the full story on Blount is revealed. Rare is the running back getting all the touches on a NFL roster these days and Graham has just been signed up for everything he can handle.
