5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 9
Jimmy Graham has seen his role in the Seattle Seahawks' offense increase in recent weeks. How much more involved is he this season?

Jimmy Graham's 8.8 Fantasy Points Per Game Ranks Fourth Among Tight Ends

From 2011 to 2014, Jimmy Graham finished each season among the top five tight ends in fantasy points per game. Then last year, in his first season with the Seattle Seahawks, he had just three games with more than eight fantasy points and ranked 11th among tight ends in fantasy points per game.

Monday night marked his first multi-touchdown game since Week 12 of 2014, and he has now gone over 100 receiving yards in three of eight games this season.

He ranks sixth among tight ends with 4.75 receptions per game and is averaging the third-most receiving yards per game. Among Seahawks pass catchers, his 20.30% of targets ranks second, while his target share of the past three games has been the highest on the team. He also leads the team with 25% of the red zone targets this season, and that number has increased to 50% over the past three games.

In Week 10, Graham will take on the New England Patriots, who have allowed four tight ends this season to catch five or more passes, but they have only allowed two touchdowns to the position.
