Who Should I Start? Jimmy Graham or Jake Ferguson

Tuesday, August 29, 11:58 PM

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham made the team's final 53-man roster heading into the 2023 regular season. The five-time Pro Bowl looked washed up in his last NFL season in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he had a career-low 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets in 15 games (six starts). The 36-year-old was a long shot to make an NFL comeback with his former team, especially after he had a medical episode on Aug. 19. Against all odds, though, Graham has impressed the coaching staff in recent weeks and caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the preseason finale last weekend. It's a cool story for Graham with the team he began his career with, but he'll have zero fantasy appeal while buried on the TE depth chart behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson led the Cowboys in all receiving categories in a Week 4 win over the New England Patriots. Ferguson caught seven passes on seven targets for 77 yards. He led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards. Ferguson has yet to put up any particularly big games, but has built a solid floor and should be a weekly low-end TE1 going forward.
