Gresham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham spent some time in the trainer's room for maintenance purposes this week, restricting him to limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday. No matter, he'll brush off his knee concern versus a New Orleans defense that has surrendered 12.1 YPC and four touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Gresham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Wrapping up Week 15 prep with back-to-back limited practices, Gresham's status unsurprisingly remains in flux. If he's unable to brush off his knee injury and suit up Sunday, he'll look to extend a six-game run in which he's averaged four receptions (on six targets) for 39.2 yards per outing, while reaching the end zone twice.

Gresham (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a DNP on Wednesday, Gresham has already been tabbed for limited work. A step in the right direction, his listing on Friday's injury report could provide an inkling about his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Gresham (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
When Gresham suffered a knee injury last season, he was inactive in the Cardinals' subsequent outing. Granted, the team had to prepare for Thursday Night Football in Week 14, so his absence wasn't unexpected, but he managed just three catches over the final three games of the regular season. Every injury is accompanied by its own rehab, though, meaning his practice participation, or lack thereof, will be of interest as this week proceeds.

Gresham notched five receptions (on six targets) for 52 yards during Sunday's 31-23 victory against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham turned in the most snaps of any skill-position player not named Carson Palmer -- 72 of 76 on offense -- racking up a season high in receiving yards and matching his top mark in terms of catches. With at least 30 yards in five consecutive contests, he's reeled in at least 50 percent of Carson Palmer's offerings in each one, which has equated to a catch rate of 65.5 percent (19 grabs on 29 targets). At best, though, Gresham is third in the pecking order in Arizona's passing attack behind Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson, while Michael Floyd is always a threat to make an impact as well. In any case, Gresham has at least become a consideration in deeper formats.

Gresham (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham is already past the illness that forced a DNP on Wednesday. With touchdowns in back-to-back games, he'll try to make it three Sunday against a Redskins defense that has conceded three TDs to tight ends over the last four outings.

Gresham was unable to practice Wednesday due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham has emerged as a consistent threat in the Cardinals' passing attack over the last four contests, notching at least 30 yards in four straight and scoring touchdowns in back-to-back games. Although he's come down with an illness, he has plenty of time to recover in time for Sunday's outing against the Redskins.

Gresham gathered in five of 10 passes for 35 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Gresham has wrested control of tight end in Arizona, earning 62 of 66 offensive snaps Sunday. Meanwhile, the only other healthy bodies at the position (Darren Fells and Hakeem Valles) combined for eight. The breakdown hasn't been so stark since Gresham took on the majority of work in Week 5, but he's now reached 30 yards receiving in four straight games and hit pay dirt in back-to-back contests. With sustained production comes relevance, and Gresham may be conjuring some of it from his days as the Bengals' top TE.

Gresham recorded four catches (on six targets) for 37 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
The most-used tight end in Arizona for five consecutive games, Gresham again led the corps with 68 of the 79 offensive snaps. Consequently, he received six of the seven targets afforded TE -- Hakeem Valles got the other -- resulting in his second-highest yardage total of the season. Gresham has actually increased his output each contest during the aforementioned stretch, but with a cumulative 11 receptions (on 18 targets) for 102 yards, he doesn't pique much, if any, interest on the fantasy front.

Gresham caught three of five passes for 32 yards during Sunday's loss at Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
After posting 41 yards receiving in Week 1, Gresham was targeted exactly one time in each of the next three games, only for all three to fall incomplete. However, he's increased his production in four straight contests, partly due to a series of ailments befalling fellow tight end Darren Fells (ankle). Averaging 5.4 YPT isn't exactly appealing for fantasy purposes, but Gresham has been the Cardinals' most-used TE during the aforementioned four-game stretch.
