Gopher Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well, that sucks. He was a game-time fantasy decision for me in 4 leagues, and I rolled with him in three of them. Went with Hightower in the other (which fortunately is the league where I have a double-header going today). From a non-fantasy perspective (since I'm posting in this forum ), I think Dunn is actually the much more effective back against the Minnesota run D. More shifty, whereas I think they would have less of a problem stopping Graham consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Warrick Dunn has always killed us. I hope they Mike Tyson him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 According to Rotoworld he's gone for the year. Earnest Graham is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, according to Bucs coach Jon Gruden. It's a devastating blow for the Bucs, who don't have another power runner. Cadillac Williams isn't ready to help, so Warrick Dunn will step up with rookie Clifton Smith involved. Graham's workload came down from his breakout '07 campaign, as expected, but his versatility kept the chains moving. He was on pace for roughly 1,300 total yards and a top-25 fantasy back finish. He should be back next year as a big part of a Bucs backfield committee, depending of course on the severity of his injury.

MonkeyOne Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd been hoping it wasn't that serious, but things aren't looking good for Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 This makes my trade where I give Addai to receive Graham so much better Before Addai's day yesterday I would have said equal value, even with the Graham injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov. 17 - 11:08 am et Source: Tampa Tribune This is different , much different from what rotowire is saying in terms of who TB will be using as RB see below : Mon, Nov 17 The ankle injury Earnest Graham suffered in Sunday's Buccaneers-Vikings game could cost him the rest of the season, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Graham's injury could lead to Williams' return to the Buccaneers' lineup. Recommendation: Williams was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list last week after a year-long rehab of a knee injury. If Graham is out for an extended period, look for Williams to move into a feature-back time-share with Warrick Dunn for the Bucs. The team would rather have had the luxury of easing Williams back into playing time, but with Graham's injury, they'll now have to accelerate that timetable.
