With Michael Bennett moving to Tampa for what is reportedly a 6th and 7th round pick, fantasy owners might be quick to pick Bennett up thinking he’s going to get a chance to be the go to guy with the Bucs.

But if anything, I think this addition just solidifies Earnest Graham’s role with the team. Bennett fits in well as the third down and/or long yardage situation guy.

I’m actually a little high on Graham to perform well for the rest of the season. He’s been in this offense for so many years, and has good compliment back now in Bennett. Graham’s not much more than a 15-20 carry guy, but he’ll get the short yardage and goalline work and he’s a little shiftier than most realize.

And don’t forget that Bennett has a lot of offense to learn. Graham will be the guy until Michael is comfortable.
