  • Jets pick up 2021 option

    Griffin (ankle) had his option for 2021 picked up by the Jets on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old had 34 receptions for 320 yards and five touchdowns through 13 starts before going down with the ankle injury in early December, and it appears the Jets are happy to keep him around for the next couple years. Griffin subsequently underwent surgery and is in the midst of an expected six-month recovery, so he should be healthy for the beginning of training camp.

  • Facing difficult recovery process

    Griffin (ankle) anticipates a six-month recovery timeline for the surgery he had last week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Griffin is unlikely to participate in the early portion of the offseason program but could get back on the field before training camp. He mentioned that the ligament damage he suffered was so significant that his rehab timeline actually would be shorter if he had simply broken his ankle. While that doesn't sound especially promising, the Jets will give Griffin every opportunity to work his way back to full strength, having signed him to a three-year, $9.6 million extension in November. He'll…read more

  • Placed on IR

    Griffin (ankle) has been placed on IR by the Jets.

    Analysis: The Jets have elected to shut Griffin down with just three games left in the regular season. In his absence, Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco are next up for the team's tight end looks, though neither player is a high-percentage lineup roll in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Won't face Ravens

    Griffin (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After picking up the ankle issue during the Jets' Week 14 win over the Dolphins, Griffin wasn't able to practice in any capacity ahead of Thursday's tilt. The Jets will operate with Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco at tight end in Week 15.

  • Not practicing Tuesday

    Griffin (ankle) will be held out of practice Tuesday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Griffin played only three snaps on offense before departing the Jets' Week 14 matchup with the Dolphins. The ankle issue hasn't allowed him to practice yet this week and appears to be threatening his status for Thursday's game at Baltimore. If he's among the team's inactives, Griffen will yield TE reps to a combination of Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco.

  • DNP on Monday

    Griffin (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report.

    Analysis: Like many Jets, Griffin came down with an illness last week but still suited up this past Sunday against the Dolphins. However, he lasted just three offensive snaps before suffering a game-ending ankle injury. With a short turnaround to the team's next contest Thursday at Baltimore, Griffin is in a tough spot to be active Week 15, which could result in increased usage for fellow tight ends Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco.

  • Won't return to Sunday's contest

    Griffin (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit, Griffin caught his only target for eight yards. Next up for the team's tight end looks in his absence are Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco.

  • Leaves with ankle injury

    Griffin is doubtful to return to Sunday's divisional contest against the Dolphins due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Griffin was forced out of Sunday's contest early in the first quarter. He caught his only target for eight yards before going into the locker room. Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco will serve as the Jets' only healthy tight ends as long as Griffin is unable to play.

  • Suits up Sunday

    Griffin (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Griffin is out there if you need him this week and figures to see his share of targets Sunday, coming off a Week 13 effort against the Bengals, in which he hauled in five of his seven looks for 30 yards. In his two outings prior to that, Griffin found the end zone in back-to-back contests, while overall he's made five trips to the end zone through 12 games.

  • Status in question for Week 14

    Griffin (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: One of three players on the Jets' Week 14 injury report listed with an illness, Griffin looks to be trending toward playing Sunday after at least managing limited showings in practice Thursday and Friday. If Griffin's condition ultimately takes a turn for the worse ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the Jets would turn to Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco to handle all the snaps at tight end.

  • Returns to practice

    Griffin (illness) will return to a limited practice Thursday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Griffin sat out practice Wednesday, so his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the tight end will head into the weekend listed as questionable or free from a Week 14 injury designation.

  • Feeling ill

    Griffin will miss Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old still has plenty of time to shake of the illness and return to health before Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Griffin has emerged as a low-end TE1 in many fantasy leagues, scoring eight or more PPR points five of the past six weeks.

  • Five catches in loss

    Griffin caught five of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Griffin recorded his third game with at least five catches this season, all of which have come in the past five games. New York couldn't get into the end zone in this one, so the tight end's modest touchdown streak came to an end at two games. Given the lack of quality alternatives at the position, Griffin should be in the TE1 mix when the Dolphins come to town in Week 14.

  • Strong run continues

    Griffin caught all three of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Griffin only scored seven touchdowns in six seasons with the Texans, but he now has five touchdowns with the Jets in 2019, including four in the past five games. Given his productivity in green and white, it's no surprise the team opted to ink the 29-year-old tight end to an extension Saturday. Griffin's touchdown in this one came from one yard out on a beautifully designed play that had quarterback Sam Darnold look right before coming back left to Griffin with no Raiders on that side of the…read more

  • Inks extension with Jets

    Griffin signed a multi-year extension with the Jets on Saturday.

    Analysis: Griffin is coming off a five-catch, 109-yard performance last week against the Redskins and will now spend a few more seasons in New York. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, it's a three-year extension and could be worth up to $10.8 million, and it also includes $4 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old has started all 10 games this season and has 25 catches for 269 yards and four touchdowns, and he's taken full advantage of the absence of Chris Herndon (ribs, suspension).

  • Tops 100 receiving yards

    Griffin converted all five of his targets into receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 11 win over the Redskins.

    Analysis: Griffin was a deep target all game, as four of his five receptions went for more than 15 yards. His long catch of the day went for 48 yards, with Sam Darnold finding him wide open along the sideline. Just one play later, he hauled in a 16-yard pass to find the end zone for his fourth touchdown of the season. Given Chris Herndon's (rib) placement on injured reserve, Griffin should be in a good position to serve as the team's top receiving tight end option for the remainder of the campaign. He'll…read more

  • Likely back as starting tight end

    Griffin is expected to serve as the Jets' starting tight end Week 11 against the Redskins after teammate Chris Herndon was diagnosed Monday with a fractured rib, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Though he didn't definitively rule Herndon out for the season, coach Adam Gase noted that the tight end would likely be out for "an extended period of time" as a result of his latest setback on the health front. Before moving into a more reduced role while Herndon made his season debut in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants, Griffin had played at least 84 percent of the snaps in each of the Jets' preceding eight games. Griffin proved to be little more than a marginal fantasy option during that…read more

  • Lays egg in Herndon's return

    Griffin caught his lone target for minus-two yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Griffin's disappearance coincided with Chris Herndon's return from a hamstring injury. While Herndon was quiet himself with just one catch for seven yards, Griffin's value should remain asymptotic to zero as long as Herndon's healthy.

  • Has TD overturned

    Griffin caught six of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Griffin appeared to come down with his third touchdown in the last two games late in the first half, but the would-be two-yard score was ruled incomplete on replay. Chris Herndon (hamstring) is getting closer to rejoining the team on the field and was actually active for this one, but he didn't get into the game. Once Herndon returns to game action, Griffin will likely fall off the fantasy radar, but it's not clear if that will happen by the Jets' Week 10 meeting with the Giants.

  • Two-TD game out of nowhere

    Griffin caught all four of his targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns while also hauling in a two-point conversion in Sunday's 29-15 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Griffin posted his best game of the season, highlighted by a 24-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a three-yard score in the third to bring his season touchdown total to three. He followed up the latter score with a two-point conversion. This was a nice performance, but Griffin still figures to be relegated to a backup role once Chris Herndon returns from his hamstring injury, which could be as soon as Week 9 in Miami.

  • Fades back into obscurity

    Griffin caught a one-yard pass on two targets in Monday's 33-0 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Griffin has operated as the Jets' No. 1 tight end all season with Chris Herndon suspended to start the year and now battling a hamstring injury, but Griffin has just nine catches through six games to show for all that playing time. With Herndon expected back possibly as soon as Week 8 against the Jaguars, Griffin shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

  • Grabs first TD

    Griffin caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The yardage was a season high for the veteran tight end, while the TD was his first of the year. Griffin has led an uninspiring group of Jets tight ends through the first five games, but his role figures to shrink once Chris Herndon (hamstring) is ready to join the lineup.

  • Starting run likely to extend

    Griffin is expected to remain the Jets' starting tight end Sunday against the Cowboys with Chris Herndon (hamstring) trending toward an inactive status, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With Herndon missing the Jets' first four games while serving a suspension, Griffin has been the clear leader of a tight-end room that also includes Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco. Unfortunately, Griffin hasn't been able to extract much value from the top role, hauling in only five of seven targets for 17 yards and no touchdowns despite playing more than 90 percent of the offensive snaps in every game. Herndon's impending return was expected to send Griffin back into a limited reserve gig, but…read more

  • Only one catch again

    Griffin caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Griffin has failed to seize the opportunity while Chris Herndon served a four-game suspension, totaling only five catches for 17 yards in four games as the starting tight end. He should fade even deeper into obscurity when Herndon's return pushes Griffin down to the No. 2 role.

  • Impact remains limited

    Griffin caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Griffin hasn't capitalized on Chris Herndon's (suspension) absence to this point, but he'll get one more crack as the starting tight end in Week 5 against the Eagles after New York's Week 4 bye.

  • Can't snag only target

    Griffin didn't catch his only target in Monday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The Jets deployed two below-average quarterbacks -- Trevor Siemian (ankle) and Luke Falk -- in Week 2, but Griffin's results (3-10-0) weren't any better with Sam Darnold (illness) under center in Week 1. Griffin will need to gain chemistry with Falk during this week's practice to have any offensive upside in Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

  • Limited impact in Week 1 start

    Griffin caught three of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Griffin was the only tight end to earn a target with Chris Herndon (suspension) sitting out the first of four games, but the former Texan wasn't much of a difference maker. Running back Le'Veon Bell and slot receiver Jamison Crowder vacuumed up most of the work underneath.

  • Quiet in preseason opener

    Griffin failed to haul in his only target in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end will likely become more involved as the preseason unfolds. Starter Chris Herndon was eligible to play in this one even though he'll be suspended for the first four games of the regular season, and he caught a 32-yard pass on the opening drive. Griffin is still the favorite to hold down the No. 2 spot at this point.

  • Favored to start Week 1

    Griffin is listed second on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart behind Chris Herndon, who is suspended for the season's first four weeks, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin is the most experienced tight end on the roster with 77 NFL appearances under his belt, and the former Texan has drawn praise from new coach Adam Gase. With his minor throat injury in the rear view mirror, Griffin will look to hold off camp challenges from rookie Trevon Wesco and some blocking specialists like Daniel Brown and Eric Tomlinson. If he's successful, Griffin should open the season as the starter while Herndon serves his suspension.

  • Managing throat injury

    Griffin was held out of Monday's practice due to a throat injury, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin's injury appears minor, as he's reportedly expected to retake the practice field Tuesday. The veteran is competing for a depth role in New York with top tight end Chris Herndon (suspension) appealing a four-game ban.

  • Lands in New York

    Griffin (groin) signed a contract with the Jets on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Griffin was waived by the Texans in May following an April arrest on charges of vandalism and public intoxication. The case was later dismissed, and he now lands with the Jets. With top tight end Chris Herndon suspended the first four games of the 2019 season, Griffin is set to provide valuable depth for the Gang Green's offense.

  • Waived by Houston

    Griffin (groin) was waived by the Texans on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Griffin was in line to again be the Texans' top option at tight end heading into the 2019 season. It's unclear if his April arrest on charges of vandalism and public intoxication is what cost him a roster spot in Houston, but it is worth noting that Griffin was entering the final year of a three-year contract. Regardless, with the tight end now out of the picture, Jordan Thomas and rookie Kahale Warring will likely be fighting for the team's top spot at the position.

  • Arrested Friday

    Griffin (groin) was arrested Friday night and was charged with vandalism and public intoxication, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The tight end, who is still recovering from offseason hernia surgery, reportedly punched out his front hotel window and was forced to be detained by officers. It's worth noting the Texans drafted toolsy TE Kahale Warring in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft the same night of the incident.

  • Five targets in playoff loss

    Griffin caught one of five targets for six yards in Saturday's 21-7 wild-card round loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The Texans fell behind early and were forced to pass often, to the point that quarterback Deshaun Watson got his underused tight ends involved. Seeing Griffin and Watson not in sync is not surprising. Griffin finished the regular season with 24 receptions and 43 targets, indicating he and the quarterback weren't always on the same page. He has one year left on his deal, but given Houston's aversion to using its tight ends, the Texans may opt to part ways with Griffin. They drafted two tight…read more

  • Usage remains limited

    Griffin caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Houston's tight ends were once again a minimal part of the offense, even with the wide receiver group depleted by injury. This was the sixth time in 14 games that Griffin has been targeted one or fewer times and the ninth time with one or fewer receptions.

    Griffin caught two of his four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: With no credible running attack Sunday, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was forced to drop back 40 times, his highest total since Week 5. That meant targets for all, including Griffin and the rest of the tight end position group. Griffin, Jordan Akins (three targets) and Jordan Thomas (one) combined to be targeted eight times. That number could increase in coming weeks with Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) done for the season, and Keke Coutee unable to get past a vexing hamstring injury that has…read more

  • Back to normal

    Griffin caught his lone target for minus-1 yards in Saturday's 29-22 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Griffin fell back to earth this week after he amassed a season-high 80 yards in Week 14. If there's one Houston tight end to consider, it's Griffin based on his playing time and being the position group's target leader, but the Texans' passing attack clearly favors the wide receivers. Griffin has been targeted two or fewer times in six of 12 games played.

  • Erupts for season high in yards

    Griffin caught all five of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Griffin came just one catch shy of his season high while setting a new mark for yards in the contest. It was just the third time all year the 28-year-old has caught more than two passes in a game. He'll look to keep rolling on the road against the Jets in Week 15.

    Griffin caught three of four targets for 38 yards in Monday's 34-17 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Griffin had his best game since returning from an illness, but his production has been too spotty overall. He's the best bet for a Texans tight end, but with no teams on byes Week 13 and beyond, fantasy owners should find better options.

  • Returns from two-game absence

    Griffin (illness) caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Griffin missed the previous two games due to an undisclosed illness. He wasn't in the starting lineup but ended up with more offensive snaps (47) than either Jordan Thomas (39) or Jordan Akins (36). Houston used a lot of two-tight end sets due to being thin at wideout and employing a run-pass split that favored the ground attack. The Texans enter their bye week, which will give slot receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) more time to heal and newly acquired wideout Demaryius Thomas more time with the…read more
