Things are looking up for the Seahawks following a brutal 0-2 start that featured an important member of the Legion of Boom (S Kam Chancellor) holding out, and tight end Jimmy Graham griping about registering one catch for 11 yards on primetime television.
Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman said several Seahawks told him Graham is “pissed off” about how he’s being used in the offense. His stats in Week 1 looked good, but he struggled for most of the game before catching some passes in the fourth quarter. It would appear that Graham’s consistent numbers were greatly aided by Saints QB Drew Brees.
Jimmy Graham Is "Pissed" About His Targets
Graham, however, is adamant that he works well with Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.
While Graham is probably being a good teammate here – he and Wilson obviously haven’t found a rhythm yet – the Seahawks were also on the road for their first two games, and faced tough matchups.
Also, the Seahawks have less receiver talent around Graham than the Saints did the past few years. Wilson is not as prolific a pure passer as Brees, and the Seattle offensive line was weakened by trading Pro Bowl center Max Unger to get Graham in the first place.

Graham’s daily fantasy price keeps dropping, but now is the time to pounce. The Seahawks are much better at home, and they have the NFL’s worst pass defense through two games, the Bears, coming to town. Graham is almost a lock for a touchdown, and possibly more.
