Jermaine Gresham caught four passes for 43 yards in the Bengals' Week 14 loss to the Cowboys. Gresham was quiet, making most of his catches near the line of scrimmage aside from a 25-yarder down the middle of the field on third-and-long. Gresham has been productive enough this season to be trusted as a back-end TE1 against Philadelphia in Week 15. He just rarely offers much upside if he's not scoring TDs.

Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Week 14 against the Cowboys. If the Bengals had any doubt about Gresham's Week 14 availability, they would have listed him as questionable. He will be in the starting lineup Sunday.

Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday. Gresham now appears to be back on track for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys after sitting out Thursday's practice.

Jermaine Gresham (hamstring) was downgraded to a missed practice Thursday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday.

Jermaine Gresham was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue. Gresham isn't believed to be in danger of missing Week 14. Averaging 4.3 catches per game, Gresham has settled in as an every-week, if low-end, TE1.

Jermaine Gresham caught four passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 13 win over the Chargers. He was targeted six times. Gresham lacks elite physical traits -- he's certainly not the seam-stretching vertical threat he was billed to be coming out of Oklahoma -- but he's settled in as a chain-moving tight end and red-zone weapon. Keep Gresham rolling as a mid-range TE1 against the Cowboys in Week 14.

Jermaine Gresham caught four balls for 41 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals curb-stomped the Raiders in Week 12. He secured all four of his targets. Gresham's value may dwindle a bit down the stretch as rookie Mohamed Sanu earns more weekly targets, but right now he's scoring at a mid-range TE1 level. Keep him rolling at San Diego in Week 13.

Coach Marvin Lewis said TE Jermaine Gresham is "putting the team on his shoulders." Lewis is exercising some hyperbole here, but Gresham is certainly playing at a high level in both the blocking and pass-catching game right now. Over the last three weeks, he's averaging 5.0 catches for 64.0 yards with one touchdown and has had another score reversed on replay. Gresham's lack of speed and elusiveness will always be a stumbling block, but he's clearly the No. 2 receiver for Andy Dalton. "He's playing like we expect Jermaine to keep playing; he's doing a great job," Lewis said. "He's really had a good season, and he's getting better each and every week."

Jermaine Gresham caught six passes for 69 yards in the Bengals' Week 11 win over the Chiefs. Gresham's was inches of an even bigger day. He caught an apparent touchdown pass late in the second quarter, but replays showed his knee came down just inches short of the goal-line. BenJarvus Green-Ellis plunged in from there. Still, this is Gresham's second six-catch game in the last three weeks and he has two touchdowns in his last five games. There's some low-end TE1 value against the Raiders next week.

Jermaine Gresham caught six balls for 108 yards in the Bengals' Week 9 loss to the Broncos. Gresham's big play came on a protection breakdown when Andy Dalton found him wide open down the left sideline and the tight end plodded his way for a 52-yard gain. Gresham is a flawed football player prone to errors, but he's on pace for career bests in catches (68) and yards (866). He's scored two touchdowns. Gresham is a high-end TE2 when the Bengals host the Giants in Week 10.
