Griffin will work as New York's starting tight end Sunday against the Falcons with Tyler Kroft (back) ruled out for the contest, Tyler Greenawalt of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin and Kroft have split reps over the first four weeks, though neither tight end has played a significant role in the passing game. Kroft didn't make the trip to London with the team, but the Jets will activate rookie tight end Kenny Yeboah from the practice squad to provide a depth option behind Griffin in the matchup with Atlanta.

Griffin caught one of four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was more involved than Tyler Kroft, who was held without a catch while playing through a rib injury, but neither tight end made much of an impact. In overtime, Griffin got open for what could have been the game-winning touchdown, but quarterback Zach Wilson's throw in his direction was low, and Griffin failed to secure the catch as a result. The Jets managed to secure the win nonetheless, giving them a much-needed confidence boost heading into a Week 5 clash with the Falcons in London.

Griffin caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin once again split reps at tight end with Tyler Kroft until Kroft was forced to exit the game due to a rib injury. While a modest bump in usage could be on the horizon for Griffin if Kroft's forced to miss additional time, New York has just 20 points through three games and hasn't featured the tight end position much in the passing game. Griffin's season stat line heading into a Week 4 game against the Titans consists of just six catches for 37 yards.

Griffin caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was marginally more productive than Tyler Kroft, who caught one of two targets for eight yards. Neither member of the Jets' veteran tight end duo has much fantasy appeal given their minimal involvement in the passing attack.

Griffin caught three of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin and Tyler Kroft (three catches for 26 yards) split tight end duties. Zach Wilson frequently used his tight ends as security blankets as the Panthers' pass rush overwhelmed the Jets' offensive line in the first half, but the rookie quarterback pushed the ball downfield to his wide receivers in the second half once Carolina's defense tired out. Griffin has topped 320 yards just once in eight previous NFL seasons, so he remains off the radar in most fantasy formats.

New York re-signed Griffin on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin has spent the last two seasons operating as a reserve tight end for the Jets, and he now looks primed to handle a similar role behind Tyler Kroft. The nine-year veteran had initially been released by New York in the process of cutting down to a 53-man roster.

Griffin (hamstring) was released by the Jets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was hampered by a hamstring injury during training camp. His release and the trade of Chris Herndon to the Vikings leaves the Jets' with Tyler Kroft and Trevon Wesco as the No. 1 and No. 2 tight ends. The nine-year veteran joined New York in 2019 and accumulated 43 receptions for 406 yards and five touchdowns during that time.

Griffin was evaluated for a hamstring injury Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Any missed time could hurt Griffin's chances to earn regular-season snaps, given that he's competing with both Chris Herndon and Tyler Kroft. None of the bunch is likely to have mainstream fantasy value, especially if they end up splitting snaps.

Griffin and Tyler Kroft received reps with the No. 1 offense during mandatory minicamp while Chris Herndon (hamstring) struggled to pick up the offense, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was limited to nine catches for 86 yards in 15 games last season, but the starting role at tight end appears to be wide open entering training camp. Herndon started last year and remains the favorite to do so again in 2021, but the playbook struggles are notable after posting a disappointing season. Griffin could find himself with a larger role this season if he performs well during training camp and the preseason.

Griffin wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-14 loss to New England. He finishes the season with nine catches for 86 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin scored a career-high five touchdowns while spending much of last season as New York's top tight end, but he failed to find the end zone as the backup to a healthy Chris Herndon this year. With two more years remaining on his contract, Griffin should reprise his depth role with the Jets next season.
