News

  • Placed on IR

    The Browns placed Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant's season thus officially comes to an end after he was diagnosed with a torn left Achilles' tendon following his exit from Tuesday's practice. While the absence of Grant will be felt most in the return game, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com notes that the 29-year-old had been pushing to carve out a slot role during training camp. Demetric Felton should get the first opportunity to replace Grant as the Browns' top option on kickoff and punt returns. Expect Grant to undergo surgery at some point…read more

  • Out for year

    Grant will miss the 2022 season after tests confirmed he suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Tuesday's practice, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old depth receiver and return specialist reportedly was having a strong training camp before his season-ending injury. With Grant out, there's an opening for Demetric Felton or D'Ernest Johnson (among others) to return kicks and punts for Cleveland.

  • Torn Achilles feared

    Grant may have suffered a season-ending torn Achilles during Tuesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the Browns are awaiting final word on Grant's injury, but it appears as though the 29-year-old is in for an extended absence. In that scenario, Cleveland's return game would take a major hit, while the depth of the team's wideout corps would also be impacted ahead of Week 1.

  • Departs practice with leg injury

    Grant (leg) was carted off during Tuesday's camp session, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Unfortunate news strikes Tuesday for Cleveland, as Grant was carted off the practice field and was unable to put any weight on his left leg. Recently, the seventh-year return specialist has taken more practice reps at receiver than he's used to, as many of the Browns' pass catchers have missed a portion of training camp attending to injuries. Expect to hear more regarding the severity of Grant's injury within the upcoming days, but from the way this sounds, Cleveland may be without the…read more

  • Gets steady reps

    Grant has benefited from injuries at wide receiver to get steady reps during drills, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Grant's primary role with Cleveland will be as a returner, but he and Michael Woods have showcased skills with the opportunity. Grant is one of the quicker players on the field and can be dangerous in the open field. None of the sidelined wideouts are dealing with significant injuries, so Grant's reps will eventually dry up.

  • Heading to Cleveland

    Grant (ankle) agreed to a three-year deal with the Browns on Tuesday that's worth up to $13.8 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grant missed the final game of 2021 with an ankle issue, but it didn't affect his outlook in free agency. Chicago acquired the 29-year-old from Miami in October, and he finished the campaign with 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 493 yards on 21 kick returns and 250 yards and one touchdown on 18 punt returns. Grant is likely to see most of his action for Cleveland in the return game as well.

  • Placed on IR

    Grant (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: The wide receiver picked up an ankle injury in Week 17 and will now miss the Bears' season finale against the Vikings on Sunday after being placed on IR. Grant will finish the 2021 season with 11 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came with the Bears after being traded from the Dolphins in October.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Grant didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Grant may have picked up the injury in the Bears' Week 17 win over the Giants on Sunday, when he was limited to only 11 snaps (six on offense, five on special teams). If he can't get back on the practice field before week's end, he'll likely sit out the Bears' season finale in Minnesota.

  • In clear for Week 17

    Grant (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Grant was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but it wasn't until the release of Friday's injury report that the Bears confirmed the wideout had cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The head injury prevented Grant from playing Week 16 in Seattle, but now that he's healthy again, he should have a small role in the Bears' offensive game plan as a gadget player and option for slot snaps. He'll also reclaim his usual duties as the Bears' top return man.

  • Starts week with full practice

    Grant (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant's full participation in practice is certainly an encouraging sign after he missed last week's game due to a concussion he sustained Week 15 against Minnesota. The Bears haven't officially confirmed that Grant has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he certainly seems to be trending toward being available Sunday against the Giants after beginning the week asa full practice participant.

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Grant (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Seattle.

    Analysis: Grant left Monday's game against the Vikings after suffering a concussion, and he has yet to gain clearance to return. His absence will be most felt on special teams, though he has seen increased snaps as a receiver of late due to the depletion of healthy Bears wideouts. Khalil Herbert should handle kick returns while Damiere Byrd figures to take over punt returns in Grant's absence.

  • Leaves with concussion

    Grant left Monday night's game against Minnesota after suffering a concussion.

    Analysis: Grant took a shot in the first half and was knocked out of the game after being diagnosed with a concussion. Prior to his departure, he returned two punts for a total of five yards while turning a pair of rushing attempts into another 17 yards. Grant's absence came back to bite the Bears later in the game, as Damiere Byrd muffed a punt at the start of the fourth quarter. Grant will have a short week to recover and will need to pass through the league's concussion protocol to play Sunday at…read more

  • Back at practice

    Grant was a full participant in Friday's practice after sitting out Thursday's walk-through session due to an illness.

    Analysis: Grant was one of eight Bears who wasn't on the field Thursday on account of an illness. All but one of those players returned to the field Friday as full participants, temporarily alleviating some concern about a team-wide COVID-19 breakout. With that in mind, Grant should be ready to go for Monday's game against the Vikings. He's coming off a big Week 14 game in which he returned a punt for a touchdown and turned in his lone reception for a 46-yard score in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers.

  • Shines on SNF

    Grant caught one of three targets for 46 yards and a touchdown while returning three punts for 131 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Grant provided the spark the Bears needed on the road to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' dominant offense. The unconventional fantasy line and low targets is a reminder that these sort of big games shouldn't be expected on a weekly basis from the veteran backup wideout. That being said, Grant has now produced 108 receiving yards and three total touchdowns over the last two weeks, so he could be worth snagging off waivers in the event he can keep the hot streak going against a porous…read more

  • Scores first touchdown with Bears

    Grant caught five passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Allen Robinson (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot) missing this contest, Grant picked up where he left off in Week 12 when he saw an increased role in the offense. Once the Bears fell behind by double digits, Grant saw most of his seven targets, and he led the team in receiving yardage. As long as Robinson and Goodwin remain out, Grant could serve as a depth option for fantasy managers.

  • Could have role in three-wide sets

    Grant may be in line to have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Cardinals with Allen Robinson (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the contest and with Marquise Goodwin (foot/ribs) ruled out, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Wideout Darnell Mooney and tight end Cole Kmet are likely to be the top targets for quarterback Andy Dalton -- who is making a second straight start in place of the injured Justin Fields (doubtful, ribs) -- but the expected absences of Robinson and Goodwin leave Damiere Byrd and Grant as the next men up at receiver. The Bears are expected to promote at least one of Isaiah Coulter, Rodney Adams Nsimba Webster and Dazz Newsome from the practice squad for additional depth at receiver, but none of…read more

  • Targeted four times in win

    Grant caught two passes for 25 yards in the Bears' 16-14 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: In addition to two kickoff and four punt returns, Grant was fourth on the team with four targets, as the Bears were without Allen Robinson (hamstring) and also lost Marquise Goodwin (foot) in the first half. Grant's fantasy value is highest in leagues that award points for return yardage, though he also can chip in occasionally as a receiver. If the Bears continue to be saddled with wideout injuries, Grant's ability to gain yardage after the catch would give him limited fantasy value as a wide…read more

  • Receives two touches

    Grant rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for six yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant's greatest value to the Bears is as a returner, and any offensive touches he receives are a bonus. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, Grant's fantasy value will be minimal unless his sees an increase in usage.

  • Will play Sunday

    Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

    Analysis: Grant was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but he was able to log full practices Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old wideout isn't expected to be a factor for Chicago's offense Sunday, as he has recorded just two catches on the season.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Grant (ankle) is considered questionable for the Bears' Week 8 contest with the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant suffered his ankle injury against the Packers in Week 6 and has had a minimal role on the Bears' offense so far this season. The receiver has only recorded two catches all season and he has yet to play more than seven offensive snaps in a game. If Grant is unable to suit up, it's likely Breshad Perriman will fill his depth receiver role against the 49ers.

  • Ready for Week 7

    Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Grant was sidelined for the first two days of practice but managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up and serve primarily as a returner in the kicking game in Week 7.

  • Questionable with ankle injury

    Grant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Grant failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, which will at least give him a glimmer of hope to suit up. He has totaled minus-7 receiving yards this season, but Grant plays a significant special-teams role as both the kick returner and punt returner. If Grant sits out against the Buccaneers, Damiere Byrd will likely work as Chicago's return man.

  • Sidelined Wednesday

    Grant (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant picked up the injury during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Packers during a long kick return that was ultimately called back due to a penalty. He managed to return to the game, but the issue is apparently still bothering him to begin the practice week.

  • Able to return

    Grant (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Grant was shaken up after a long punt return that was nullified by penalty. He was spotted returning a kick later in the game, and he should continue to serve as a key special teams player for the Bears for the remainder of the game.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Grant suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Grant was hobbled after a long punt return, though his effort was nullified by a penalty. It's unclear whether he will be able to retake the field. If Grant remains sidelined, Damiere Byrd would likely fill in for Grant on returns.

    Grant (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Grant was limited in practice Thursday, but the injury wasn't serious enough to keep him out of this game. He's not expected to hold a big role on offense, however, as he only has two receptions this year.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Grant (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Grant didn't appear on the injury report Wednesday, implying that he picked up the issue during practice. The fact that he was still able to take the field in any capacity is positive, though his status for Sunday's game against the Packers remains ambiguous. In his first game with the Bears, Grant played only two offensive snaps. He could see an increased role in Week 6 if Allen Robinson (ankle) is unable to play.

  • Traded to Windy City

    Grant is being traded to the Bears on Tuesday in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grant found himself on the outside of Miami's regular offensive rotation this season, in large part due to the arrival of new starters Will Fuller (finger) and Jaylen Waddle, but in Chicago he could see more work. The Bears are in need of more consistent contributions behind Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, and Grant could offer Damiere Byrd and Marquise Goodwin real competition for the No. 3 role. The 28-year-old is also a quality option in the return game.

  • Barely plays offense Week 3

    Grant was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Grant dealt with an ankle injury leading into Week 3, which may explain in part why he only handled two offensive snaps versus Las Vegas. On the other hand, the debut of Will Fuller may have simply deprived Grant of any real opportunities to handle skill-position reps. The speedster did lock down his usual role as Miami's top return man, but as long as he's limited almost entirely to special teams, he will remain off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

  • Cleared for Week 3

    Grant (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.

    Analysis: Grant upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, shedding his injury label in the process. He should work in his usual capacity Sunday as the return man on special teams and get the occasional opportunity on offense.

    Grant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Grant is looking iffy for Week 3 due to an ankle sprain, but it's at least encouraging to see that he's able to handle limited practice reps. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Dolphins will need all the help they can get at the skill positions.

    Grant is managing an ankle sprain picked up during Sunday's 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Grant (anke) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.

  • No targets Week 1

    Grant played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Grant appeared in 14 games last season for the Dolphins and recorded 36 receptions for 373 yards -- both career-highs. He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year, but he appeared healthy coming into training camp. Grant's role in the 2021 offense remains unclear after the Dolphins added Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle to their receiving corps this offseason.

    Grant hauled in a deep ball from QB Tua Tagovailoa at June minicamp.

    Analysis: Grant appears to have returned healthy for Miami's offseason program after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year. He's missed multiple games in three straight seasons, and he'll now face a tougher path to earning snaps on offense, with the Dolphins adding Will Fuller (suspension) and No. 6 overall pick Jaylen Waddle to a receiving corps that also includes Grant, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams (foot), Albert Wilson and Lynn Bowden.

  • Not playing Week 17

    Grant (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: After suffering a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the Raiders, Grant never looked like a strong bet to suit up for the regular-season finale, but he at least made it a tough decision for the Dolphins to make him inactive by turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Ultimately, Grant didn't demonstrate enough progress to get the green light from the training staff, but the Dolphins will hope to have him back for a potential wild-card game next weekend, should Miami earns its…read more

    Analysis: Along with Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) is also taking a questionable designation into the weekend, with resolution on the receivers' statuses likely to come when Miami releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Grant (ankle) logged a limited practice Thursday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Prior reports suggested that Grant's high-ankle sprain would prevent him from playing Sunday against the Bills, but his limited session Thursday suddenly brightens his odds of suiting up in the regular-season finale. According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, Grant was spotted catching passes during individual drills Thursday, suggesting he was able to move around decently well.

    Analysis: Grant missed Wednesday's session due to his high-ankle sprain, so it would represent tangible progress if he's even to handle even limited reps Thursday. The slot man still appears quite iffy for Sunday's game against the Bills, but the Dolphins haven't ruled him out.

  • Suffers high-ankle sprain

    Grant sustained a high-ankle sprain during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders and is expected to miss Week 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The timing of Grant's injury is inopportune for the Dolphins. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) coming off back-to-back absences and Preston Williams (foot) still on IR, the team could be without its top three wideouts heading into a Week 17 road game against the Bills. Rapoport called Grant a candidate for IR and said that he'll miss the regular-season finale, but the Dolphins themselves haven't yet officially ruled the 28-year-old out.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old had five catches for 43 yards to lead Miami's pass catchers before going down with the injury during the third quarter. Isaiah Ford and Mack Hollins could see increased snaps if Grant is unable to retake the field Saturday.

  • Suiting up Week 16

    Grant (hamstring) is active for Saturday's game at Las Vegas.

    Analysis: The Dolphins waited until the last second to make a decision on Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder). Both Grant and Gesicki are available to the offense, but Parker will miss a second consecutive contest. As a result, a few more targets may be freed up for Grant as Miami faces an exploitable Raiders defense.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 16

    Grant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: As is wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder), while the trio's Week 16 status may not be clarified until game time in advance of Saturday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Grant and/or Parker are out again this weekend, Lynn Bowden, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford would be next in line for added Week 16 wide receiver duty for Miami.

  • Another limited session

    Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are all practicing on a limited basis to begin Week 16 after all three sat out the Week 15 win over the Patriots. Since all of those pass catchers turned in multiple limited practices last week before being inactive, Grant -- like Parker and Gesicki -- will presumably need to put in a full practice Thursday to have a shot at playing Saturday in Las Vegas.

    Grant (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Along with Grant, tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and DeVante Parker (hamstring) were deemed limited participants to begin Week 16 after all three pass catchers sat out Sunday's win over the Patriots. In order to avoid taking a designation into this weekend's game in Las Vegas, Grant will likely need to turn in a full practice Wednesday or Thursday.

    Grant (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, isn't expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins notably elevated Isaiah Ford from their practice squad Saturday, a move that gives the team added wide receiver depth if Grant is indeed made inactive prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. On the plus side for Miami's offense, top wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) "is hopeful he can play" versus New England, per Pelissero.

    Analysis: Grant will carry a designation into the Week 15 matchup after the hamstring injury rendered him a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday. He'll be one of three key Dolphins pass catchers entering Sunday's game in shaky health, as wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are also listed as questionable.

With DeVante Parker (leg) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) both also having been forced out Sunday, and Preston Williams (foot) already on IR, the Dolphins' pass-catching corps can scarcely afford more attrition.

    Grant was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grant's injury likely stems from the flagrant hit he took while attempting to return to a punt during last weekend's win over the Bengals. He'll have two more chances to increase his level of practice activity as he looks to gain clearance for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Grant has drawn five or more targets in four of the last five weeks.

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Grant (undisclosed) is "banged up," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Grant was likely injured when he sustained a flagrant hit by Bengals wideout Mike Thomas on an attempted punt return in the fourth quarter, which caused an ensuing brawl and the ejection of five players. Teammates DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins reportedly aren't at risk of suspension after being ejected, so as long as Grant is able to shake his injury in time to suit up against the Chiefs in Week 14, Miami's receiving corps will have emerged none the worse for wear.

    Grant secured two of six targets for 42 yards and returned four punts for eight yards in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also muffed a punt, but it was recovered by Miami.

    Analysis: Although there was nothing particularly remarkable about his numbers, Grant still had a somewhat prominent role to play in the contest, albeit unintentionally. The speedster was interfered with by the Bengals' Mike Thomas on a would-be punt return in the fourth quarter, taking a premature and low hit that set off a large scuffle between both teams that resulted in the ejections of teammates DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins, as well as Cincinnati's Shawn Williams and William Jackson.

    Grant secured both of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Miami's passing gameplan marginalized every player not not named DeVante Parker, who had a whopping 14 targets while no other wide receiver had more than three. Ryan Fitzpatrick is prone to locking in on his top option, which doesn't bode well for Grant's fantasy prospects even though he's working as Miami's No. 2 receiver with Preston Williams (knee) still on IR.

With Preston Williams (foot) still on injured reserve, Grant is expected to continue working as the clear No. 2 wide receiver behind DeVante Parker.

    Grant caught two of six targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Grant also had one carry for three yards and was held to just six punt return yards after having accumulated at least 50 in three of the last four games. He once again operated as the No. 2 receiver in place of Preston Williams (foot) and drew his highest target total of the season, but Grant was unable to capitalize on those opportunities versus the Broncos' defense. A Week 12 road matchup against the Jets will provide him, and Miami's aerial attack as a whole, with an opportunity to get right.

Grant also was the only wideout to record a touchdown for Miami, bringing in a three-yard throw from Tua Tagovailoa near the end of the first quarter.

    Analysis: Grant drew five targets while playing just 48 percent of offensive snaps during last weekend's win over the Cardinals, but his opportunities opposite No. 1 wideout DeVante Parker. Along with Grant, Mack Hollins, who caught a touchdown against Arizona, will see more action in three-wide sets, while rookies Lynn Bowden, Malcolm Perry and Kirk Merritt could also receive increased reps.

    Analysis: Grant only played 48 percent of offensive snaps, operating primarily out of the slot, but his five targets were tied with Preston Williams (foot) for the second-highest mark on the team. It's worth noting that Williams was forced to exit in the first half due to a sprain, so Grant's looks may have been slightly inflated. That's a trend that could repeat against the Chargers in Week 10 though, if Williams can't return. Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Grant also now leads the…read more

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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 secured his lone target for two yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Grant, like the rest of Miami's receiving corps, was held in check by the Patriots' secondary for the entire duration of Sunday's contest. Nor did Grant manage to make an impact on special teams, as his only punt return resulted in a loss of three yards. As the No. 3 wideout at best in an unreliable offense, Grant won't warrant fantasy consideration in most formats when he suits up against Buffalo in Week 2.

  • Could see increased role

    Grant is a candidate to play an increased role in Miami's aerial attack with Preston Williams (knee) out for the season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Grant appears set to compete with Allen Hurns for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Miami going forward.
