Summary

Running Back Rank: #320All Players: #1254

Graham played seven games before missing the rest of the season because of a torn Achilles' tendon. This is a major injury and he has a long road back but should be healthy for the start of this coming season. Graham got sporadic work before getting injured, serving as the fullback most of the time. He did get some time as a running back the last two games before getting injured. He even hit the 100-yard mark Week 6, rushing 17 times for 109 yards. He had six or fewer carries his other six games, though. Graham is more of a fullback or reserve running back at this stage of his career. He has rushed for fewer than 250 yards three straight seasons and has topped 500-rushing yards just twice. Graham isn't a flashy runner, but sets up his blocks well and moves the pile because of his size. He doesn't have game-breaking speed, which limits his ability some. And at age 32, Graham's best days are behind him. A turnaround to past success isn't likely.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Graham has quickly faded out of fantasy favor. He has just two touchdowns the last three seasons. He probably isn't even worth a roster spot in 95 percent of leagues. He might get 200 total yards and a score or two but that is about it. Plan accordingly.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Earnest Graham is expected to have a chance to contribute from the tailback position in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. 'You guys know Earnest has done everything for us,' QB Josh Freeman said. 'Whether it's playing fullback, being the third down back and now this week he's going to get the majority of the reps, the majority of the carries. I mean, he's done it before...he's a guy we know can get it done.'
Fantasy Impact: Graham is the back to use in Tampa this week. He should get the bulk of the carries.

RB Kregg Lumpkin will likely be the third-down specialist. The team can also incorporate RB Allen Bradford into the game at some point.
Fantasy Impact: Graham is the back to use if you are looking for a Blount replacement.
