Ryan Griffin Fantasy Stats

Free-agent tight end Ryan Griffin has signed a one-year, $2.2 million contract with the Chicago Bears. Recently released by the Jets, Griffin caught 27 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns through 14 games (12 starts) in 2021. The former sixth-round pick has spent nine years in the NFL between the Texans and Jets but was cut loose by New York after they signed C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin. Griffin finds his way to Chicago, where he'll likely compete with Jesper Horsted for the backup role behind unquestioned starter Cole Kmet.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin was released on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. In 2021, he appeared in 14 games (12 starts), catching 27 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns. The former sixth-round pick has spent nine years in the NFL between the Texans and Jets. However, his stint with New York has come to an end after they added C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin in free agency. Griffin should have no trouble finding a depth role elsewhere, but he's not fantasy relevant at this time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed quarterback Ryan Griffin, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Obviously, he'll occupy a depth role behind Tom Brady once again. Between two years with the Saints and seven with the Buccaneers, Griffin has attempted just four passes all of which came in one game (Week 9, 2019, against the Colts). Currently 32 years old, he'll compete with second-year quarterback Kyle Trask for the honor of being named Brady's backup this coming season.

The New York Jets placed tight end Ryan Griffin (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. He will miss the season's final three games after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. QB Mike White was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list in a corresponding move. The 31-year-old finishes the 2021 season with 27 catches for 261 yards and two touchdowns over 14 games in 2021. Tyler Kroft will serve as the Jets' primary tight end, but is mainly an option in deep-league formats. Fantasy managers can search elsewhere for a streamer in Week 16 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that tight end Ryan Griffin (knee) is dealing with a knee injury and isn't looking good for Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Griffin played a season-low 39% of the offensive snaps while getting injured in the Week 15 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and he finished the game with only two catches for 39 yards. Tyler Kroft, who also caught both of his targets on Sunday for 35 yards, figures to serve as the Jets top pass-catching tight end if Griffin cannot play this weekend. Kroft returned in Week 15 after a five-week absence due to a chest injury that he suffered in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. There are more targets available in the passing game with receivers Elijah Moore and Corey Davis on Injured Reserve, but fantasy managers should be able to do better than Kroft in deep two-TE leagues.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin did exactly what was expected of him during the Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in both of his targets for 39 yards in the loss. He has posted three straight games with two receptions, but less than 40 receiving yards in all of them. The good news is, Tyler Kroft (chest) returned for this game, but both remained in the gameplan. Despite that, neither of them are much of a fantasy option. Griffin will be a desperation TE3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin has seen three or more targets in three of his last four games. Despite that, there hasn't been much fantasy value from Griffin. The Jets passing attack in horrendous, so it's tough to trust anyone on this roster right now. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be jumping to grab Griffin for their Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. A defense that has been middle of the road when it comes to stopping tight ends. The Jets don't seem to use the tight end often enough to make Griffin a fantasy option on a weekly basis.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin has seen a steady dose of three or four targets over the last month or so. That trend continued against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. Griffin hauled in two of his three targets for 28 yards in the loss. The Jets were without Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quad) for this matchup. That being said, Griffin figured to be more involved in the passing attack since the Jets had limited weapons. Instead, he remains barely involved and a desperation deep league option against the Miami Dolphins next week.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday. That is good news, so fantasy managers can be hopeful that Griffin will play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. However, Griffin doesn't have much value heading into this contest. He has been held to three receptions or less in every game besides one this season. The Saints have done a solid job at containing tight ends so far this year. At best, Griffin is a desperation PPR option in deep leagues, but isn't worth rostering in most formats.

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle, knee) wasn't able to practice on Wednesday, and neither was tight end Trevon Wesco (ankle). Tyler Kroft (chest) remains on Injured Reserve, so if Griffin and Wesco are unable to suit up in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, the Jets would be down to rookie Kenny Yeboah and Daniel Brown, who is currently on the practice squad. The Jets tight end situation hasn't been fantasy relevant at all, and that isn't going to change anytime soon, even with wide receiver Corey Davis (groin) out for the rest of the season. Griffin has 23 receptions on his 37 targets in 12 games this year for 194 yards and two touchdowns.
