Daniel Graham (1 Viewer)

Any New England homers have any insight as to whether or not Graham will play this weekend? He is listed as quationable and Belichek has borrowed Dave Thomas from behind the grill at the Wendy's drive thru in Boston and inserted him in the line -up. FBG's even has Thomas listed ahead of notables such as Leonard Pope & Marcus Pollard. Do they serve clam chowder now at wendy's ?

Seriously, any news on Graham :shrug:

 
Michael Parente, of the Woonsocket Call, reports New England Patriots TE Daniel Graham (ankle) practiced Friday, Oct. 20, and could miss Week 7 due to an ankle injury.

Whatever that means!

wtf are you talking about?
I know,I live on a small island called Saipan in the middle of the ocean between Hawaii & Japan. It's difficult to get 1st hand information except on the internet and I am getting conflicting reports on grahams staus such as this one. :confused: As you can see by my roster below, I only have Heap & Graham on my roster so if Graham is out, I need to pick up another TE for this week. Any help would be appreciated. FBG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pats homer here.

Dave Thomas is a rookie TE from Texas. He was a clutch TE at TX, the kind of guy who got your 7 on 3rd and 5. He has been *very* slowly worked into the Pats offense.

If Graham is out, I'm not too worried, as DT has shown lots of promise. He is not 1/2 the blocker of Graham but that does not really matter for FF purposes.

Could be worth a spot start, but I would not expect much. Really you are starting him hoping for a TD.

I live in Austin and watched DT play in college. Great hands, I think he led UT in receptions last year, I know he caught 10 balls in the Rose Bowl. Kind of a Dallas Clark type.
 
The Wendy's guy, Dave Thomas, is dead btw.

Agree with the above poster. He's dependable and has solid hands, but not incredibly athletic on the NFL level. On an unrelated note, I met him a few times in Austin. :shrug:

There were alot of good reviews in camp for him. Google's blogsearch is good for OPINION if you don't use it for fact and/or consider the source.http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl...end&ie=UTF8
There were some good notes in a few of those. They helped further my opinion that he's a hard working, blue collar, "smart" player with adequate, but not outstanding, physical abilities.

Yeah, I'm a fan of blogsearch
 
*** Friday Update *** RB Brian Westbrook (PHI) practiced on Friday but was downgraded to questionable for this weekend. Even though Westbrook should play this weekend, this is very conflicting as a player that practices on Friday generally plays on Sunday. However, a player that is downgraded on Friday generally does not play on Sunday. Although Westbrook doesn't play by the "conventional wisdom" rules for the injury report. The team expects him to start Sunday. Check the Footballguys website for the definitive word Sunday morning.

Well aparently Daniel Graham doesn't play by the "conventional wisdom" rules for the injury report either. He also practiced on Friday, but is still listed as questionable for this weekend. Is this just a Belicheck ploy to keep Buffalo from game planning for him :confused: See below

** Friday Update *** TE Daniel Graham (NE) practiced on Friday but remains questionable for this weekend.

:unsure: :yes: or :no: I know, MAYBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wall: :wall: :wall:

 
If Thomas does well, I'm grabbing him in dynasty. No WW latitude for TEs, I'll have to pounce

 
IMO, Thomas is a decent sneaky play for this week. If you are having TE bye troubles, you could do worse. I plan to pick him up and start him in my work league.

 
| D. Graham does not travel with team

Published Sun Oct 22 12:30:00 a.m. ET 2006

(KFFL) John Tomase, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots TE Daniel Graham (ankle) did not travel with the team and is out for the Week 7 game.

Also, Thomas is very capable if for some reason Graham and Watson are nicked up. He was a very good possession TE (safety blanket) at Texas for Vince Young. Also, keep an eye out for Garrett Mills if that happens.

Who in FF doesn't wish this happenned more often? It'd throw GTD out the window if teams could only fly their active roster. Dare to dream
 
Also, keep an eye out for Garrett Mills if that happens.
I'm not going to their 4th TE regardless if Graham is a FA after this year. I just can't do it.
Mills is a very good receiver. He had 1200 yds last year in college. He has been moved to an HBack role, but would be a nice sleeper.
Is Pass off PUP? Will he be soon?I just can't see him jumping in the rotation.
