SIT ‘EM

Ryan Griffin. 3. player. 10. Projected: 6.5. Tight End. Texans

Ryan Griffin has never been a big name in fantasy football, but with how bleak the tight end position tends to be, someone might have him as a backup on their team. Keep him as a backup this week, as Griffin isn’t projected to do much against the Dolphins.

Despite the Texans being down Keke Coutee this week, Griffin probably won’t get many targets in his absence. Those targets will be spread out between Hopkins, Will Fuller V, and maybe even Lamar Miller.

Throw in all of this with the fact that Griffin is coming off an injury AND going up against a Dolphins defense that has fared nicely against tight ends and there’s little upside to starting Griffin this week. He’s probably not even a great option to have on your bench, but with tight end being a thin position, I get it.
