Brandon Graham Value (1 Viewer)

[Gally]

I play in a big play league (8pts per sack; 1 pt per tackle). Of course Graham as a DE would be more vauluable due to positional scarcity but what is outlook now that he should be starting and Trent Cole is gone?

Just as some perspective, Justin Houston was the #1 scoring LB in this league last year so rush OLB are valuable.

Any info on projected play time? He seemed solid against the run last year in limited snaps. Was that an anomoly or should be solid?

I am worried about his inability to have more of a roll previously as a red flag. I have read the write ups here but does anybody have any other thoughts? Just looking for as much info/opinion as possible.

Thanks.

Projections on here have him at 40-45 solos, 10-15 assists, and 8-12 sacks. We'll say 43, 13, and 10. In that league, that's pretty valuable. Obviously not compared to guys like Houston, Matthews, and Miller, but he's somewhere in the next tier.

I saw the projections and I really like the pressure numbers he has historically put up. I believe he will make a jump this year with the playing time but I was wanting to see some other opinions.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the trade so now I have a trio of LB's of David, Houston, and Graham. I think I am happy with that with this scoring system. I have David for consistent tackle numbers and Houston and Graham for the big game potential.
