Scouting report

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Miami

Jermaine Gresham only had 52 yards on five catches last week, but it’s good to see him getting more work in the Cardinal passing game. Gresham has a touchdown in two of the last three games, and has at least five targets in four of his last five, making him worth considering in deep leagues.

Gresham has some upside this week against a Miami team that has given up seven touchdowns to opposing TEs this year, including two to Dennis Pitta last week. While far from a sure thing, he’s an interesting flyer to take a gamble on if you’re streaming the TE position and options are limited.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Washington

Head Coach Bruce Arians has historically not been kind to the TE position, but Gresham has touchdowns in two straight games now after a five-catch, 35 yards and a score against Atlanta last week.

He faces a very average Washington pass defense this week, and he still might be fool’s gold in an offense that doesn’t feature the TE position, but we have him ranked inside our top 20 for the first time this year and could be worth a gamble in large leagues where you’re desperate for a streaming option.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jermaine Gresham's first season with the Cardinals was a bit of a disappointment. He appeared in 15 games (starting 12) but was limited to just 18 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown.

Fantasy Downside
Gresham was coming off a back injury from the 2014 season, but it's hard to use that as an excuse for his poor showing last year. More likely it's the lack of focus the tight end position gets in Bruce Arians' offense. In addition, Gresham might not be a lock to make the final roster.

2016 Bottom Line
Nobody should be investing in Arizona tight ends in redraft leagues. Gresham, like Troy Niklas and Darren Fells should be viewed as potential bye-week fillers of low-end DFS plays.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 20, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

NFC Championship at Carolina

Jermaine Gresham wasn’t targeted last week against the Packers and he remains the backup tight end on a roster without a star at the position. The Cardinals don’t use their starting tight end very much, so being the backup puts Gresham in toss-away territory from a fantasy perspective. Gresham should not be considered a viable fantasy option in any league formats this week.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 19, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 vs. Green Bay
Jermaine Gresham had a forgettable season as the Cardinals’ backup tight end. Partially due to ineffectiveness, but mostly due to the type of offense the Cardinals use, Gresham failed to provide any kind of consistent fantasy production all year. There’s no reason to expect that to change this week, and even though he may lead backup tight ends in targets this weekend, he’s nowhere near starting material for fantasy owners in any league format.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Cleveland
Jermaine Gresham started in place of the injured Darren Fells last week against the Ravens and wound up catching four of the six passes thrown his way for 63 yards and a respectable outing overall. Gresham should continue to see the field often in Arizona, regardless of the health status of Fells, but neither player has shown to be a consistent fantasy option in the Cardinals offense and both should be avoided for the time being.

ARI TE Jermaine Gresham - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. New Orleans

Jermaine Gresham should get first crack as the starting TE in Arizona, especially with Ifeanyi Momah headed to IR. He could get some competition from Joseph Fauria or Troy Niklas long term, but he’ll get a chance to show what he’s got against the Saints in Week 1.

Ultimately however, Gresham is way too unpredictable to put much stock into him this week. Fantasy owners should be able to find a safer option at a deep fantasy tight end position. Watch the Arizona depth chart during the season to see if a tight end finally emerges there, but until we know for sure, it is probably best to just leave them all on waivers.
