Granson played on 31 of the offense's 73 snaps, which was second among Indy tight ends (27 snaps for Will Mallory and 34 for Mo Alie-Cox). However, Mallory (two) and Alie-Cox (one) had receptions. No tight end in Indianapolis has much fantasy value given how rarely they are utilized in the passing offense and how the targets are split three ways, and Granson has just one reception in his last three games.

Granson played on 31 of the offense's 73 snaps, which was second among Indy tight ends (27 snaps for Will Mallory and 34 for Mo Alie-Cox). However, Mallory (two) and Alie-Cox (one) had receptions. No tight end in Indianapolis has much fantasy value given how rarely they are utilized in the passing offense and how the targets are split three ways, and Granson has just one reception in his last three games.
Granson returned after missing two games due to a concussion. While he wasn't a big part of the passing offense, he could take on a larger workload next week with Drew Ogletree leaving with a foot injury.
Granson, who last suited up Week 6, is thus slated to reenter the Colts' tight end mix following a two-game absence. In the six contests he's been available for this season, he's caught 16 of his 26 targets for 170 yards and a TD, though in his last outing Oct. 15 versus the Jaguars, the 2021 fourth-rounder hauled in three of his four targets for a season-high 67 yards. In his return to action, however, Granson profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, with fellow TEs Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory also available this weekend.
Granson was inactive for the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Browns after sustaining a concussion Week 6, and he'll sit out another contest after evidently having not cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In Granson's continued absence, Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox should be in line to pick up most of the snaps at tight end.
Granson also missed Wednesday's session, which sets the stage for Friday's practice to loom large with regard to the tight end's chances of playing Sunday against the Saints. He didn't practice at all last week before being made inactive for the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Browns.
Granson didn't practice at all last week and ended up missing a loss to the Browns on Sunday. In his absence, Drew Ogletree got most of the TE snaps in passing situations but didn't draw any targets. Another missed game this Sunday against New Orleans would leave more snaps for some combination of Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory.
