Gresham recorded his first touchdown as a Cardinal among a two-catch, 26-yard performance Sunday at Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham received a consistently minimal snap count before Darren Fells suffered a shoulder injury in Week 6, but the veteran tight end has been a threat in the Cardinals' passing attack in the meantime. In two games sans Fells, Gresham was targeted 10 times, accruing six receptions for 81 yards, and he remained the top tight end upon Fells' return Sunday. Notching 73 of the offense's 89 snaps versus 50 for Fells, Gresham may have staked a claim to a starting role in Arizona. Nevertheless, the breakdown of snaps over the next few weeks will indicate who is considered the preferred option of Carson Palmer.

Gresham made two catches (on four targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's win at Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham has acted as the nominal starting tight end during Darren Fells' (shoulder) two-game absence, earning 82 percent of the offensive snaps. In the process, Gresham's target count for the season has doubled from 10 to 20, which has equated to six receptions for 81 yards. Meanwhile, second-year tight end Troy Niklas has also experienced an uptick in usage, but his two targets Sunday were far more valuable for fantasy purposes, as he reached the end zone on both occasions. If Fells recovers in time for the Cardinals' next tilt in Week 10 in Seattle, Gresham's snaps will likely return to the standard established in the first six contests of the season.

Gresham gathered in four catches (on six targets) for 62 yards during Monday's win against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Darren Fells dominated the tight-end workload in the Cardinals' first six contests, but a shoulder injury suffered in Week 6 opened the door for Gresham to be a factor in the passing game. According to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix, Gresham earned 51 of 62 offensive snaps, and in the process, he surpassed his accumulated receiving yards on the season before Monday in just one outing. With Fells expected to miss one or two more games, Gresham has a chance to put his stamp on one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.

Gresham couldn't gather in his sole target during Sunday's victory in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Consistently short fields and an efficient ground game resulted in only 18 pass attempts from Cardinals quarterbacks, and 11 of those were consumed by the receiving duo of Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown. Gresham's usage reflected those conditions, containing him to 20 of 46 offensive snaps, versus all but two for fellow tight end Darren Fells, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix. In addition to the continued lack of snaps, Gresham didn't record a catch for the first time in five games, but his five receptions have produced just 51 yards and no scores on the season.

Gresham caught his sole target for eight yards in Sunday's defeat to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Despite recording at least one catch in each game this season, Gresham has made nary a contribution, with only one outing reaching double-digit yards. He's been restricted by his share of the tight-end reps, and he even logged a season-low 30 percent (22 of 74) of the offensive snaps Sunday, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix. For comparison's sake, fellow TE Darren Fells handled 85 percent, or 63 of 74, which continues a season-long trend. As long as he pecking order remains steady, Gresham will remain a fantasy non-entity.

Gresham caught two passes (on three targets) for 34 yards during Sunday's win versus the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
After recording one reception apiece in Weeks 1 and 2, Gresham responded with his first multi-catch outing as a Cardinal. Furthermore, he upped his usage from the first two games, when he picked up 41 percent of the offensive snaps, earning 51 of 76 such snaps (67 percent) Sunday, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix. On his weekly radio appearance Monday on Arizona Sports 98.7, general manager Steve Keim mentioned that Gresham was key in setting the edge in the running game, which should endear the tight end to head coach Bruce Arians as the season continues. In any case, Gresham has established himself as the Cardinals' clear No. 2 TE to Darren Fells after three contests.

Gresham (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham's health has been at issue since joining the Cardinals on the brink of training camp, which delayed his chance to factor into the passing game. As the second banana to fellow tight end Darren Fells, Gresham will likely remain a periphery target in a loaded receiving corps, despite his previous relationship with Carson Palmer in Cincinnati.

Gresham (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham played second fiddle to Daniel Fells in Week 1, catching his lone target for a four-yard gain, whereas Fells had a 4-82-1 receiving line. Gresham doesn't offer much upside as a receiver, but he could eventually push for a larger role due to his solid blocking.

Gresham (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham toughed it out in Week 1 but still ranked second among the Cardinals' tight ends in snaps, garnering 24 to Darren Fells' 52 (among 62 overall). While Gresham was targeted only once for four yards, Fells surpassed all expectations, hauling in four receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. As Gresham grows more accustomed to the offense, he could eat into Fells' volume, but Fells remains the clear-cut No. 1 TE in Arizona.

Gresham received 24 of the Cardinals' 62 offensive snaps in Sunday's win against the Saints, Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was extremely limited in practice and logged no preseason snaps, Gresham made his first appearance in a Cardinal uniform, corralling his only target for four yards. However, he lagged well behind Darren Fells in terms of snaps (52), and the No. 1 tight end accounted for four catches, 82 yards, and a touchdown in Week 1. Gresham certainly has his work cut out for him in his quest to achieve relevance, with Michael Floyd's (fingers) growing health a further hindrance down the road.
