Held catchless against Lions Granson failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
Impact Granson was a complete non-factor in the contest, failing to record a single reception for the sixth time in 12 games. The veteran tight end did, however, lead all Indianapolis tight ends in playing time, as he was on the field for 35 of the Colts' 55 offensive snaps Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox played 30 and 23 snaps, respectively. Despite operating as the Colts' No. 1 tight end, Granson should not be trusted for fantasy purposes in a Week 13 matchup against the Patriots.
NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Just one reception in win Granson had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's win at the Jets.
Impact Mo Alie-Cox had two targets as the Colts give few targets to tight ends and divide playing time fairly equally between three or four tight ends each week. Granson at least gets the most playing time in the passing game as he played on 32 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on 18 routes, both which led Indy's tight ends.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Two grabs in loss Granson caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to Bills.
Impact Granson's two grabs were a season high for the fourth-year tight end, as he continues to play a limited role in the Colts' passing game in 2024. The 26-year-old played 24 of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps Sunday, just behind Mo Alie-Cox (27) and ahead of Drew Ogletree (22). Granson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Jets.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted once against Minnesota Granson caught his lone target for 22 yars in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Granson was on the field for 44 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, just behind fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox who played 48 percent of snaps. The 26-year-old Granson now has just four receptions for 75 yards through nine games. His lack of involvement and production should keep the 6-foot-3, 242-pounder far off the fantasy radar as the Colts host the Bills in Week 10.

Just one reception in loss Granson had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.
Impact Granson was the only tight end in the Indy offense to record a catch amid starting quarterback Anthony Richardson's struggles (10-of-32 passing for 175 yards). The Colts again split playing time fairly evenly between four tight ends, and none got significant targets, making any a poor fantasy option.

Held catchless in win Granson failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Titans.
Impact Granson has been held without a reception for three straight weeks. The 26-year-old veteran finished third in offensive snaps (17) Sunday as the Colts' No. 3 tight end behind Mo Alie-Cox (34) and Drew Ogletree (21). Through six games, Granson has totaled just two catches for 49 yards on five targets. The 6-foot-3, 242-pounder should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Not targeted in win Granson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
Impact Granson remains part of crowded tight end rotation, splitting snaps with teammates Mo Allie-Cox and Drew Ogletree. The 26-year-old Granson played 20 of the Colts' 66 offensive snaps, while Allie-Cox and Ogletree played 31 and 24 snaps, respectively. Through four weeks, the 6-foot-3, 242-pounder has just two catches for 49 yards. Granson remains far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 5.

Has 40-yard catch in win Granson had one reception for 40 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Impact The Colts again split playing time fairly evenly between three tight ends and none got significant targets, though Granson had a big play. Granson played 27 of the offense's 56 snaps compared to 20 for Drew Ogletree and 31 for Mo Alie-Cox. Only Granson had a target among the trio.

Just one reception in loss Granson had one reception for nine yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
Impact Granson played the most snaps of Indy's three tight ends (Mo Alie-Cox had 18 snaps and Drew Ogletree had 14 snaps), but the trio amassed just three receptions and four targets for 43 yards after no tight end had a reception in Week 1. With the Colts using a more vertical passing attack than last season, none of the Colts' tight ends may get significant targets.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
No receptions in season opener Granson did not have a reception and was targeted just once in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Impact Granson played on 25 of the offense's 45 snaps but went out on just 13 routes, per Pro Football Focus. Mo Alie-Cox got the start at tight end but also had one target.

Team's top TE heading into season Granson caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Bengals.
Impact Granson was the intended receiver on Anthony Richardson's pick six on the second drive, which was the result of a miscommunication between the quarterback and tight end. Despite that miscue, it was encouraging that Granson got the lion's share of playing time in the five possessions that Richardson and the first-team offense played, finishing as one of three players to catch multiple passes from Richardson. After leading all Colts tight ends with 368 receiving yards last season, Granson sits atop the depth chart heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Texans.

Leader in early TE competition Granson appears to be a the top of an unsettled depth chart at tight end after the first week of training camp, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact He's competing with Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox, Jelani Woods and Will Mallory for playing time. Granson was the most productive member of a crowded Colts tight end room last season, posting 30 catches for 368 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. However, the Colts split targets between three tight ends last year and that pattern could continue this season.
