Pops for punt return TD Grant secured one of two targets for 15 yards and notched an 88-yard touchdown on his only punt return in the Dolphins' 28-17 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also returned his sole...
Impact It was a banner day for Grant in the return game, with his 88-yard score in the second quarter giving the Dolphins a surprising two-touchdown lead. With just 14 receptions and 19 targets through seven games, Grant's fantasy value is significantly higher in formats that count return yards and touchdowns, although the elite speed that allows him to thrive on special teams always gives him theoretical upside as a wideout. He'll look to up his production from scrimmage in a Week 9 interconference showdown against the Cardinals.

The Latest: Saints get OT win; Broncos top LA on last play

Leads WRs versus Jets Grant secured all four of his targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.
Impact Grant led the Dolphins in terms of catches, and his 48 receiving yards were second only to tight end Adam Shaheen's 51. The speedster was also busy on special teams, returning one kickoff (23 yards) and six punts (83), to account for a team-high 154 all-purpose yards. Grant also hauled in one of Tua Tagovailoa's first two NFL completions, when he gained a first down late in the fourth quarter to seal the win for Miami.

Active in Week 5 Grant (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the 49ers.
Impact The speedster was questionable due to a non-COVID-19 illness late in the week, but this confirms Grant has apparently been able to overcome his ailment. He'll slot into his usual No. 4 receiver role against San Francisco while also presumably continuing to handle both kick and punt returns.
OCTOBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable with illness Grant is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in San Francisco due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Impact Grant wasn't listed on the Dolphins' injury report to begin the week, but he missed practice Friday with an illness likely related to the bug that's been making its way around the Miami locker room of late. An absence from Grant versus the 49ers would leave Miami without its top depth option behind starting receivers DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford. Lynn Bowden and Mack Hollins would be the main candidates to handle the No. 4 receiver job in Grant's stead.
OCTOBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from practice Friday Grant wasn't spotted on the field during the early portion of Friday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact The Dolphins haven't revealed whether Grant's absence is due to any sort of health concern, but it's worth noting that the Dolphins have had an illness going around the locker room this week. In the even that Grant were forced to miss any time, Noah Igbinoghene and Preston Williams would likely be in line to fill in for him on kick and punt returns, respectively.
OCTOBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Trio of grabs in loss Grant brought in three of four targets for 36 yards and returned one punt for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 31-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Impact Grant checked in third among Dolphins wideouts in receptions and receiving yardage, trailing DeVante Parker and Isaiah Ford. He was coming off having compiled 107 all-purpose yards in a Week 3 victory against the Jaguars, and although his day wasn't quite as productive Sunday, Grant's catch total equaled a season high while his yardage tally was a new high-water mark in 2020. The speedster will look to build on his numbers in a Week 5 road matchup against the 49ers.

Dolphins' Gesicki hopes to polish his end zone celebrations

Impact The speedster was fairly busy due to his multiple responsibilities, but he once again played a minimal role as a receiver. The good news is that Grant has caught all five targets he's seen thus far this season, but those have amounted to just 46 yards. Grant has yet to see his blazing speed translate to game action, as Thursday's 19-yard catch counts as the longest of his season-plus as a pro. He'll look to up his production from scrimmage in a Week 4 home matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Operates as No. 4 WR in loss Grant secured his lone target for two yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.
Impact Grant appears to be clearly behind DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford for the time being. Tight end Mike Gesicki also figures to regularly operate ahead of Grant. His big-play abilities and usage in the return game provide fair fantasy value in leagues that award points for special-teams yardage, but outside of such formats Grant doesn't warrant much weekly consideration.
