Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (calf, wrist) and wide receiver Ryan Grant (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Even if Graham suits up in Week 14 in a good matchup with Washington, he'll remain a touchdown-dependent TE2 after catching only four passes for 82 scoreless yards the last three games. Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan would be more involved in the game plan if Graham were inactive. Grant caught four passes for 14 yards in two games with the Raiders this year and won't be on the fantasy radar while buried on Green Bay's receiver depth chart.
The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent wide receiver Ryan Grant on Wednesday and waived running back Tra Carson in a corresponding move, according to a source. With Davante Adams (toe) missing the last two games and Geronimo Allison also injured on Monday night, the Packers need some more receiver depth. Grant had four catches for 14 yards in two games with the Raiders this year. He's unlikely to have any fantasy value in his new home. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Jake Kumerow figure to be the three top receivers if Adams and Allison miss Week 7 against the Raiders.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Ryan Grant had another good showing in preseason Week 2 versus the Cardinals on Thursday. In his brief time on the field, he hauled in his lone target of the game for a 13-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr to cap off the team's first drive of the game. Grant played exclusively with the first-team offense in this contest, despite currently sitting second on the team's depth chart at slot receiver. The veteran is on the roster bubble but has certainly made a strong case to break camp with the team. Even if Grant usurps rookie Hunter Renfrow on the depth chart, he won't hold much fantasy relevance during the season, making him avoidable in all formats.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Ryan Grant caught three of his four targets on Saturday, finishing with 32 yards in the team's 14-3 win over the Rams. The former Colt played most of the first half, proving to be a reliable target for quarterback Mike Glennon in a game dominated by mostly backup players for both teams. Grant is currently fighting for a roster spot, sitting behind Hunter Renfrow on the depth chart for the starting slot receiving role. He will have a hard time surpassing the rookie with all the praise he's been getting by Derek Carr and the coaching staff so far in camp, but he made a good case for himself in this one. Even if Grant cracks a roster spot, he won't be worth looking at in all fantasy formats.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Ryan Grant is dealing with a back injury and is considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old is currently behind fifth-round rookie Hunter Renfrow for the teams slot receiver job, and is battling just for a roster spot since signing a one-year deal back in April. This injury doesnt seem serious, but any setback like this is a cause for concern regarding his roster spot. Even if Grant breaks camp with the Silver and Black, he wont be of any fantasy use.
The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent wide receiver Ryan Grant to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. Grant, a former fifth-round pick, spent last year with the Colts and caught 35 passes for 334 yards and one touchdown in a career-high 10 starts. He played his first four seasons with the Redskins and has 119 catches for 1,319 yards and seven touchdowns in 78 career games (25 starts). Grant will mainly be receiver depth in Oakland and won't be a lock to make the final roster.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (toe) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for the divisional round against the Chiefs on Saturday. Grant also missed the wild-card win over the Texans and has mostly been a non-factor in Indy's offense all year. T.Y. Hilton, Dontrelle Inman and Chester Rogers will be in on most three-receiver sets on the road in KC this weekend.
Indianapolis Colts wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and Ryan Grant (toe) both missed practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Hilton doesn't really practice much anymore, but he will play against the Chiefs in the divisional round on Saturday. He hasn't scored since Nov. 18, but Hilton remains heavily involved as quarterback Andrew Luck's top target. Hilton has blowup potential in what could become a shootout against KC's soft secondary. Grant missed the wild-card game and is on his way to missing another game. Even if he plays, he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups.
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich officially ruled out wide receiver Ryan Grant (toe) for the wild-card game on Saturday against the Texans. It doesn't mean much for those in fantasy, as Grant hadn't caught more than two passes since Oct. 4 against the Patriots, and he scored his only touchdown of the year on Sept. 23. T.Y. Hilton, Dontrelle Inman and Chester Rogers will be in on three-wide sets this weekend.
Indianapolis Colts wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (ankle), Ryan Grant (toe) and Zach Pascal (knee) were all estimated to sit out of the walkthrough practice on Tuesday. All three should be able to play in the wild-card game against the Texans on Saturday. Hilton hasn't practiced much of all to close out the season but he hasn't missed a game and has been very effective. In two games against Houston this year, Hilton has 13 catches for 314 yards. He hasn't found the end zone since Nov. 18 against the Titans, but Hilton should be a popular DFS selection in the wild-card round this weekend.
