Kylen Granson to be a featured pass catching tight end

Aug 26, 2021

According to Stephen Holder of the Athletic, Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Kyle Granson 'will be a featured pass-catching tight end' this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Granson has been making waves in camp and appears to have solidified a role in an offense that will make frequent use of multiple tight ends. This is what Holder had to say "While Doyle and Alie-Cox will have significant blocking responsibilities — especially with left tackle Eric Fisher on the mend from an Achilles injury — Granson will be a featured pass-catching tight end. He’s already been very involved in training camp. He has the potential to have a big year if he can consistently avoid drops." While this by no means suggests that he will pace the position in targets, this is news to remember when eyeing a potential TE2 for those who play in leagues with deeper rosters. Jack Doyle is the only one of these tight ends currently in our top 200, but with a strong showing to start the season, Granson has the chance to leapfrog him on the depth chart when the Colts are in obvious passing situations. This will be a situation to monitor throughout the season due to Carson Wentz's affinity for targeting the tight end position.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
