Rest-of-Season Projections
Quiet end to comeback season
Graham finished the 2023 regular season with six receptions (on seven targets) for 39 yards and four touchdowns in 13 appearances.
ANALYSIS
Graham was never expected to make much of an impact for the Saints this season after coming out of retirement to sign a one-year, $1.32 million contract in late July. The 37-year-old caught just one pass over the first seven weeks of the campaign while filling an extremely limited role behind tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. Graham temporarily fell out of this rotation when he missed four games in a row either with illness or as a healthy scratch. But, he got a chance again when the Saints' wide receiver corps was shorthanded with numerous injuries. Graham went on to catch one touchdown pass in three consecutive games from Week 13 to Week 15 while almost exclusively working as a target in the red zone. Graham then went without a target over the final three contests of the year, and it appears unlikely that he'll be re-signed by New Orleans this coming offseason.

Graham, now 36 years old, surprisingly signed with the Saints in July. In that context, he may need to compete for a roster spot in a crowded tight end corps that also includes Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill. Graham hasn't suited up for NFL action since the 2021 season, when he put up just a 14-167-3 receiving line in Chicago across 15 games. He wasn't signed to a club last year. Graham may not have more upside than as a situational end-zone target if he does make the team, but it will be fitting if he's able to finish out his career as a member of the Saints.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Johnson injury could open door
Graham, who's not yet made a decision on his playing status for 2024, could see the likelihood of a return to the Saints increase if Juwan Johnson's absence due to foot surgery lingers into the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Katherine Terrell and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday on Johnson's surgery, which is the result of a lingering problem the talented tight end is finally going to address. Foster Moreau, who proved capable in a complementary role last season, and the versatile Taysom Hill are likely the top candidates to handle snaps at the position during a potential Johnson absence, but Graham could be looked at as a veteran deep reserve option like he was during his surprise comeback last season.
