Graham (hip) was limited at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
After practicing fully Wednesday, Graham's downgrade in activity Thursday may just be maintenance-related, but his status now will be one to watch as the weekend approaches. He's been relatively quiet over the last four games -- seven catches for 55 yards on 11 targets -- but he salvaged his day this past Sunday against the Texans with his first TD since Week 9.

Graham caught four passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Graham scored his second touchdown over the last eight games, he was targeted just four times while teammate Cole Kmet served as the clear receiving tight end with seven targets for the second week in a row. During the last four games, Graham has seen a total of 11 targets, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

Graham failed to catch his lone target in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After a solid start to the season, Graham has accounted for just 32 yards over his last three games while being out-targeted by rookie Cole Kmet during that time. In addition to his recent struggles, he scored just a single touchdown over the last six games while surpassing 34 yards on one occasion, making him difficult to trust during the fantasy playoffs.

Graham caught three passes for 34 yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham failed to see a target until the game was well out of hand in the fourth quarter, but he ended up posting a decent yardage total. After a hot start to the season, he's failed to find the end zone in five of his last six games, and he's surpassed 34 receiving yards on only two occasions this season, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

Graham was shut on on two targets in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was shut out for the first time this season, and almost every time the Bears found themselves in an obvious-passing situation, the Vikings brought heavy pressure, forcing Nick Foles into a number of errant throws, and Graham was rarely in the area where the quarterback was forced to throw. He's been held to 35 yards or fewer in six of his last seven games, and his ceiling is typically dependent upon him scoring touchdowns.

Graham caught all six of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After falling behind by double digits in the first half, the Bears were forced to throw the ball more than usual, helping Graham to his second-highest yardage total of the season while also grabbing a late touchdown after the outcome of the game had been decided. Through nine games, he's averaging just 34 yards, making him mostly a touchdown-dependent weekly lineup option.

Graham (knee/hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, rookie tight end Cole Kmet (groin) wouldn't have practiced if the Bears had held practice. If the TE group is down one player Sunday in Tennessee, Graham could be even more utilized than he has been this season. Through eight games, his offense snap share has ranged between 62 and 80 percent, which has translated to a 29-247-4 line on 49 targets.

Graham (knee/hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Wednesday's session, Graham frequently didn't take the field for the first practice of the week as a veteran day off. He now has a pair of injuries attached to his name, and aside from four touchdowns, he's only put up a 29-247 line on 49 targets through eight games. Graham's status will be one to monitor as the weekend draws closer.

Graham caught two passes for 13 yards yards in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Graham was tied for second on the team with seven targets, he was consistently taking big hits from the New Orleans defenders, which caused him to struggle to secure a number of reception attempts. He's now scored just once over his last five games while failing to surpass 34 yards in any of those contests, and he remains a touchdown-dependent lineup option for fantasy managers.

Graham caught five passes for 31 yards in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was a non-factor while the game was close, but he was able to haul in four of his five passes in the second half to salvage his fantasy day. Even though the Bears were deep in the red zone on two different occasions, he didn't see any of Nick Foles' end zone targets. He's now posted between 31 and 34 yards in each of his last four games while finding the end zone once during that span, and although he has a moderate floor, his fantasy value is usually derived from his ability to score touchdowns.
