rajncajn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Regular on the Saints board that has insider ties is saying Graham suffered a high ankle sprain against the Chargers and will miss anywhere from 3-6 weeks. I do know for a fact that Graham was wearing a walking boot after the game, but other than that this is just a rumor so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montster Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 From Roto: A source with knowledge of the situation tells Profootballtalk.com Jimmy Graham (ankle) will play in Week 7. The Saints have maintained radio silence on Graham's status since he went down in Week 5, but the fact that he played through the injury against the Chargers suggested he'd be ready to roll following a two-week layoff. We'll get our first tangible clue as to his Week 7 status when the Saints return to practice on Wednesday, but for now owners can pencil their TE1 into the lineup.

BA Baracus Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The real question here is who benefits the most if Graham misses some time??? Sproles or Thomas? Lance Moore? Someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Colston moved to the slot with Graham slowed and ended up with 3 TDs so I'd say him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonsoxandy Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm betting it is. If I were a betting man I'd bet that you are a betting man if I was a betting man for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd and schlong Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Even if Graham plays, who knows at what efficiency. I think colston benefits more with a hobbled Graham than no Graham at all. Without Graham teams can just key on colston/henderson running deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well, there seems to be two distinct camps here, about as far apart as you can get. Will be interesting to see what the word is out of practice. Colston took over Grahams role in the last game. I think the prevailing wisdom was that Grahams work would be split maybe between Moore and Sproles but that is not what happened. I find all this very disturbing since I had my dynasty team set up with Graham, Sprole, and Moore on the roster. If Graham goes down I just insert Moore, and he and Sproles make up the difference. Now I'm a little shaky on it actually shaking out like that, so I'm really hoping the newest rumors are the facts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Colston moved to the slot with Graham slowed and ended up with 3 TDs so I'd say him. If I had to guess then I'd agree that Colston should be the benefactor, but knowing the Saints passing offense, I'd say it's anybody's guess.

Phat Rugby Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The Saints offense is designed to take what the defense gives them. It is very hard to predict unless you know the defensive coordinator for thier next opponent. Sproiles does well when the D's give the underneath and Colston is better if they try to play a tighter man coverage. With Graham hobbled or out, makes little difference just more targets for someone. That will change from week to week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Just a couple of updates, nothing definitive. Mike Triplett @TripTP #Saints injury update: TE Jimmy Graham did not practice. Mike Triplett @TripTP #Saints Kromer did not specify whether Jimmy Graham's ankle sprain was low or high. Said he "looks good," was able to run around a little. Fletcher Mackel @FletcherMackel Kromer: Jimmy Graham has an ankle sprain, we'll work him in till game game. Slowly work him in. ETA: Lance Moore fully practiced today as well. Edited October 17, 2012 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonsoxandy Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Limited participant today is Rotoworld's word on this? I'm banking on him playing which is probably foolish...any inside scoop rajn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Limited participant today is Rotoworld's word on this? I'm banking on him playing which is probably foolish...any inside scoop rajn? If he's practicing I don't see how it can be the high-ankle & my bet is that he will play. He's always battled through other injuries before so I see no reason why he won't now. His only issues I think may be getting in & out of his cuts, but his route running isn't exactly his strong suit anyway so it may not be too much of an issue.
