Jimmy Graham or Greg Olsen?

[whywork2]

Graham has really sucked the last two weeks and I don't know how bad he's hurt and now Cam Newton is out. This one is totally up in the air for me.

Flip a coin? I'd lean towards Olsen for the fact that he's been producing all year, and new QB's have a tendency to lean on TE's.

Saints are tanking. Go with Olsen

Id start Olsen.

But depending on what my Flex options are, Id keep in mind how Chicago doesn't play defense.

I'd also go with Olsen. Funny how we're all ditching "the best", but we can't keep giving he and the Saints rain checks.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Really depends on my team. But the safer choice is Olson right now. But graham is still the better choice if you need or want to take the gamble as he is much more likely to have a multiple TD or a 16+points game

I'm benching his ass on principle.



Of course they are playing the Bears, so he'll probably go off now.

Nice to have 2 of the top 5 TEs on your team.
I think it is looking more and more realistic that Graham's shoulder injury never really healed, and he's just been playing through it.

What makes it really tough is that the CHI v NO game could be 49-42, while the TB v CAR game could be 14-13.

I'm still going to say bench him. Cam or Anderson (it is still Derek Anderson as the QB2 there, right?), both will target Olsen 8-12 times this week.
Bench Graham.

I had Graham all year, I just picked up Greg Olsen on waivers. Personally I leaned to Olsen myself since he has been more consistent. This is a start of our four team playoff in a 12 man league and I think I'd rather go for consistency over upside. I still don't know if Newton will be playing or not but either way Drew Brees hasn't exactly lit it up of late either. I agree with the advice and I'm going with Olsen.

You should be beating this league into submission!
Olsen has taken over Graham as the #2 TE in my standard league, and the #3 TE (Gronk - Bennett) in my PPR league.

Did someone dump all of their good players after they missed the playoffs?

 

[beardown07]

I got Graham and Martellus Bennett.


Starting Bennett this week. Fuck Graham. He's done me on all fronts the past two weeks.

Like I said...outta principle.

Maybe this will help

In the 1st go round Olsen had 14 points with derek as the QB

Olsen won't have Newton throwing him the ball.

meh.
starting the 4th ranked TE over the 3rd ranked TE isn't really getting cute, both are legit options since Graham has not been elite for over a month now
