2008 Projections

2007 Game Summaries

Week 1 - Graham was only targeted in the first half. Denver opened with a two tight end formation in the second half to help open up some running lanes.

Week 2 - Graham was moved around the field a lot in this game, at times lining up as a receiver, or in the backfield as a fullback. The Broncos love utilizing him as a blocker, one of his strongest skills. As a receiver he was only targeted once, catching that for nine yards.

Week 3 - Graham was targeted on two long pass plays, one of which was called back due to a penalty on the offense. The other was towards the end of the game, which he dropped.

Week 4 - Graham continues to get the lion's share of targets at the tight end position for the Denver Broncos. Graham led the team in receptions this game with four for a modest 35 yards. When the Broncos got behind in the third quarter, Jay Cutler targeted Graham three times, but when the game was getting out of hand in the fourth, Graham had no targets.

Week 5 - Graham was very quiet and was used almost exclusively as a blocker. Also, backup TE Tony Scheffler saw extended playing time when Nate Jackson left the game with an injury. It's unclear if Scheffler (who caught two balls for 34 yards and blocked a punt) will see his playing time increase at all. And if it does, whether it would be at the expense of Graham's time.

Week 7 - Graham had the last target and catch of the game. It was a play that was reviewed because it was rule incomplete, but in fact he caught the ball and had it knocked out but was already down by contact. It was an important catch, as it set up Jason Elam's 49 yard game winning field goal.

Week 8 - Graham snagged only two of his six targets, but both receptions went for first downs.

Week 9 - Graham caught three passes for 42 yards, including a big 21 yard gain. Graham also dropped a pass and was guilty of a false start penalty.

Week 10 - Graham caught both of the passes intended for him. He caught the only touchdown that Cutler threw during the contest.

Week 11 - Graham caught both of his targets, and earned one first down.

Week 13 - Graham was targeted only once in the game.

Week 14 - Daniel Graham displayed the strength and sure handedness that the Broncos were expecting when they picked him up in the off season. He caught each of the three passes Cutler directed towards him for an excellent 55 yards and one score.

Week 15 - Graham left the game with an injury and did not return.
