Graham and Watson have been targeted at least 8 times tonight...and now Graham has a TD. Then again, so has every NE receiver. It helps when you are in a 5 WR set for half the game. Branch has 7 catches already.
If they are going to do this all year, those NE receivers might actually be startable. Brady himself may end up not just a real-life stud QB!
And just to add, my Week 1 opponent has Graham.

So glad I went with Graham. I was going back and forth between him and Stevens from Seattle. Hopefull by tonights performance he will pull away from Watson and Fauria.
Graham and Branch both looked extremely sharp, especially Graham.
The thing to remember here is that Givens and Patten also looked sharp, and that Brady, as usual, spread the ball around a lot. Against a horrible secondary like last night, that can mean four receivers with decent fantasy numbers. But don't expect this to be the case every game.
Brady is a lock starter in every fantasy lineup, in my opinion. Branch is the next best bet aside from Dillon, who should get more than 15 carries in 90% of the Patsy's games.
I was thinking that McMichael would be the clear starter for me this year, but if Graham keeps this up, I may have to switch. Lets just hope McMichael puts up some half way decent numbers saturday so I dont completely blow it this week.
