Earnest Graham of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has signed a three-year contract extension that is reportedly worth almost $11 million. Graham, who entered last year deep on the depth charts, proved to the world that he could handle the starting duties as an NFL running back.
Graham played in 15 games and had 898 yards rushing, 324 yard receiving and ten touchdowns. In the fantasy football world, Graham was a golden waiver wire pickup early in the season.
In the 2008 campaign, Graham is expected to begin the year as the starter in Tampa Bay. Cadillac Williams is working his way back from a gruesome knee injury and isn’t expected to be ready at the beginning of the season. Warrick Dunn was signed this offseason but he’ll likely be a backup.
Although Graham doesn’t have great fantasy football potential, he’s valuable due to his receiving skills out of the backfield and his nose for the endzone. As a third running back on a fantasy team, Graham has a lot of value.
