HOU TE Ryan Griffin - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
As the Houston Chronicle pointed out, when Ryan Griffin sprained his medial collateral ligament in the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs last season, the Texans deemed him valuable enough to hold a roster spot for him rather than shelve him for the season. Once Griffin was activated from injured reserve-designated to return (a short-term roster designation allowing NFL teams to save a spot for a player recovering from an injury), he made an impact. Imposing and athletic at 6-6, 254 pounds, Griffin caught a career-high 20 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns in nine games and four starts last season. A former sixth-round draft pick from Connecticut, Griffin has caught 49 career passes for 586 yards and four touchdowns in three NFL seasons.

Fantasy Downside
Griffin sat out the offseason program with an Achilles issue, but only missed the first week of training camp. That injury followed the knee sprain that limited his playing time last year.

2016 Bottom Line
Despite HC Bill O'Brien's ties to the Patriots and their TE-heavy offense, the position hasn't been a huge factor so far in his tenure in Houston. Griffin certainly has the size and athleticism to be a significant contributor, but we haven't seen it to date. Given that, Griffin's appeal in redraft leagues is minimal.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 18, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 18 vs. Kansas City
Last Sunday in the win against Jacksonville, Ryan Griffin collected three grabs for 27 yards. It was his highest reception total since December 6, which was also the last time he was in the end zone. Griffin had just an 18-yard catch in Week 1 versus the Chiefs and should not be a part of your playoff fantasy roster.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Jacksonville
Texans QBs completed just 16 passes last week in the win at Tennessee and Ryan Griffin caught only a 14-yard pass. He had been more productive recently, but Houston controlled the game with its ground attack. Griffin did not play in the October win over the Jags and should not be a part of your starting lineup on Sunday.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee
Last week in the win at Indy, Ryan Griffin was the second leading receiver for the Texans with two grabs for 30 yards. Houston QBs completed just 17 passes for 173 yards, but it was enough to get the win. Griffin did not play in the November contest against the Titans and should not be started in the rematch, especially with the Houston quarterback situation.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Indianapolis
Last Sunday night against the Patriots, Ryan Griffin had two passes that went just off the end of his fingertips falling incomplete. On six targets, the TE finished with only a 20-yard reception. Griffin was out for the meeting against Indy in October. There has to be a better option for you to start at TE this week.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New England
Ryan Griffin was in the end zone for the second straight game last week against the Bills. He finished with three grabs. 29 yards and his second TD of the season. Thirty of Brian Hoyer’s 43 pass attempts went to his top WRs, but since he returned to action four weeks ago, Griffin has 12 catches for 143 yards. He should only be started if you’re out of other TE option, however.

HOU TE Ryan Griffin - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Buffalo
What a breakout performance Ryan Griffin turned in last week against a bad New Orleans defense. He collected four receptions, 72 yards and his first TD of the season. Since returning to the lineup three weeks ago, Ryan has nine grabs for 114 yards. He has become a nice option for QB Brian Hoyer, but despite the strong game versus the Saints, should not be started against the Bills.
