Week 15 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Jakeem Grant has now scored three touchdowns in his past two games. While it's a nice little hot streak, it's also very difficult to maintain. Grant only caught a single pass last week off of three targets. Grant is a Hail Mary play in hopes he uses his speed to burn the top off a defense once in a game. It's possible he does that this week in a favorable matchup vs. the Vikings, but he's nothing more than a desperation play.
Week 14 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Jakeem Grant has caught two passes in each of his last three games. He showed some promise in Week 10, but since then he hasn't done a whole lot. Outside of DeVante Parker and maybe Lynn Bowden (in deeper leagues), there isn't really a Dolphins WR worth rostering in fantasy.
Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
There hasn't really been a wide receiver behind DeVante Parker to consistently put up production after Preston Williams' injury. Jakeem Grant showed some promise, but has now finished with 15 yards or less in two straight games. Grant also saw his playing time drop significantly last week going from 85% in Week 11 to 34% in Week 12. Grant is not a recommended play in Week 13 despite the favorable matchup.
Week 12 at New York Jets
After a pair of nice games, Jakeem Grant finished 2-12 on six targets in Week 11. If Grant is able to be more consistent, then he offers some appeal as a speedster who can break a big play on any given week. But for now, he's a guy who hasn't topped 50 yards in any game this season. He's not really on the fantasy radar.
Week 11 at Denver Broncos
Jakeem Grant was the receiver who benefited the most in Preston Williams' absence. Grant had five targets (for the second game in a row) and finished 4-43-1 as a receiver. He played a season-high 76% of the offensive snaps, and along with DeVante Parker was the only WR to play 50% of the snaps or more. Grant can be viewed as a solid WR4 play this week against the Broncos.
Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Jakeem Grant had one of his more productive games last week, matching a season-high five targets and finishing 4-35. The speedster will get more opportunities moving forward with Preston Williams on injured reserve. Still, it's tough to trust someone who is only averaging 23.3 yards per game this season. Grant may see more playing time, but it's worth waiting and seeing which receivers emerge behind DeVante Parker this week, if any. Grant is a risky WR4 in Week 10 in a tough matchup against the Chargers.
Week 9 at Arizona Cardinals
The Dolphins traded away Isaiah Ford, which may open the door for more snaps from speedster Jakeem Grant. But this is something that fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach on. We'll have to see just how this offense plays out before Grant becomes a viable fantasy option.
Week 3 at Dallas Cowboys
Jakeem Grant actually saw seven targets last week, tied for the team lead with DeVante Parker. He caught three passes for 22 yards and had one rush attempt for negative four yards. Grant is one of the faster players in the NFL, so it'd be wise for Miami to try to get the ball in his hands, which it appears it's trying to do. But it's just not working. Grant isn't worth fantasy consideration at this point.
Week 10 at Green Bay Packers
The Brock Osweiler experience continues at Lambeau Field, with the Dolphins having an extremely low implied team total of less than 20 points in Week 10. Plus, the Dolphins are basically deploying a WRBC. No Dolphins receiver over the past three games is averaging seven targets per game. Danny Amendola would be the best of a bad bunch of options for PPR leagues, with five receptions in four consecutive games. Jakeem Grant is not an option though for lineups.
Week 8 vs. New York Jets
With Albert Wilson on IR and Kenny Stills not practicing Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury, DeVante Parker and Danny Amendola emerged as the primary options in the Dolphins passing game last week. Grant did see eight targets in a game full of negative game script for Miami, but he only amassed 36 yards. Grant's speed makes him a threat for a home run, but he was kept in check against the Jets earlier this year. All signs point to him being far too risky for lineups in Week 9, even in a juicy match-up. The Jets are just 25th in aFPA to WRs.
