Earnest Graham will handle 3rd-down duties

Bucs OC Greg Olson confirmed that Earnest Graham will enter the season as the team's 3rd-down back.  He beat out RB Kregg Lumpkin for the job.  Graham caught 49 balls back in 2007, so it's a role the 5'9, 225-pounder can handle.  It still won't be enough to make him a real fantasy factor though.  The more important takeaway here is that RB LeGarrette Blount will continue to come off the field in passing situations.  It limits his upside and kills his value in PPR formats.
