Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Jimmy Graham and Top 3 TEs

Jimmy Graham is the NFL's top fantasy tight end.

Drew Brees and his New Orleans Saints attack is one of the most complex and spread-out systems in the league, with the star quarterback finding many of his wide receivers open following different route combinations.

Still, Graham is the most reliable tight end target in the game.

He has the third most receptions this season (45) and has been targeted 66 times which leaves him fourth in the league. 

Want more?

Graham has five touchdowns and his Saints take on the winless St. Louis Rams this weekend. 

New Orleans will like gain a big lead on the ground against the worst run defense in football, but Graham should be in for another 5-8 catch game. 

Who are the the other top tight ends this week?

Jason Witten

What else is new?

Witten only caught five passes for 35 yards against the Rams last week, but he didn't need to do much more than that with Dallas taking such a commanding lead and DeMarco Murray erupting on the ground. 

This week against the Eagles, things will be a little different.

I totally expect this game to be a shootout, and while the Cowboys will likely feature more of Murray, they'll need to move the ball through the air to stay with Michael Vick's offense. 

The talent in Philadelphia's secondary is starting to show but I'm not sure there's one specific nickel corner or linebacker that can consistently cover Witten throughout. 

Fred Davis

John Beck isn't lighting the stat book up each week, but he's almost forced to look for Davis against the Bills in Toronto. 

Santana Moss is out with a hand injury and Tim Hightower is done for the season with a torn ACL. Chris Cooley won't be in the lineup either. 

Davis is probably the most reliable target left and the Bills secondary has been one of the worst in the league so far this year.
