Impact Griffin scored a career-high five touchdowns while spending much of last season as New York's top tight end, but he failed to find the end zone as the backup to a healthy Chris Herndon this year. With two more years remaining on his contract, Griffin should reprise his depth role with the Jets next season.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from COVID-19 list Griffin was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Impact Griffin missed last week's win over the Browns, but he'll return to the lineup for the season finale against the Patriots. The 30-year-old tight end has averaged 26.1 offensive snaps per game. He currently has career lows in receptions (nine) and receiving yards (86) in a season.

Hits COVID-19 list The Jets placed Griffin (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Griffin's placement on the reserve list could mean either that he's been deemed a close contact or that he's tested positive for COVID-19. If the veteran tight end is unable to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Browns, Chris Herndon will stand to see a slight uptick in opportunities.

Two catches in Week 13 Griffin caught both of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Griffin was the only Jets tight end to targeted by quarterback Sam Darnold, as New York went run-heavy in the loss. With just nine catches for 86 yards and no touchdowns this season, Griffin's unlikely to play a prominent role in Week 14 against the Seahawks.

DECEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No targets after bye Griffin wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Meanwhile, starting tight end Chris Herndon stirred from his season-long slumber and scored his first touchdown of the year. Regardless of Herndon's production, Griffin should remain an afterthought in the low-octane Jets offense moving forward.

Two grabs in Week 9 Griffin caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Griffin was the only Jets tight end to draw a target in this one, as nominal No. 1 tight end Chris Herndon remains stuck on one catch over the past four games. The position hasn't been featured much despite all of New York's injuries at wide receiver, and with the team's receiving corps finally healthy, Griffin and Herndon will likely continue to battle for scraps moving forward.

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in shutout loss Griffin caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.

Impact Griffin was actually New York's most productive tight end with Chris Herndon failing to record a catch, but that's not saying much. While Griffin has five catches to Herndon's three over the past three games, neither tight end is doing enough to warrant attention in the fantasy realm, even considering the league-wide dearth of production from the position.

OCTOBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first catches of season Griffin caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 37-28 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Griffin made his first catches of the season after failing to record one over the first three games, but none of his receptions went for more than four yards. The backup tight end continues to serve predominantly in a blocking role.

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No catches on two targets Griffin failed to corral either of his two targets in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Colts.

Impact Griffin saw his first two targets of the season with the Jets dressing only four wide receivers due to injuries, but the backup tight end couldn't haul in either one. As long as Chris Herndon remains healthy in front of Griffin, the latter is unlikely to make much of an impact.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Still without a target this season Griffin wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Griffin hasn't had a ball thrown his way through two games. New York could go to more formations with multiple tight ends against the Colts in Week 3 given all of the team's injuries at wide receiver, but Griffin hasn't shown the ability to convert playing time into production.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Non-factor in opener Griffin was not targeted in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Impact With Chris Herndon healthy, Griffin has been relegated to backup tight end duties. Herndon had six catches in Buffalo and will be the only tight end seeing significant attention from quarterback Sam Darnold as long as he's on the field.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Taken off PUP list The Jets (ankle) activated Griffin from the active/PUP list Saturday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Griffin took the practice field for the first time in training camp, as he was recovering from a December ankle injury. It looks like Chris Herndon will secure the No. 1 tight-end job, but Griffin is a steady backup and produced a 34-320-5 line with Herndon out of the picture last year.
