Griffin (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin is out there if you need him this week and figures to see his share of targets Sunday, coming off a Week 13 effort against the Bengals, in which he hauled in five of his seven looks for 30 yards. In his two outings prior to that, Griffin found the end zone in back-to-back contests, while overall he's made five trips to the end zone through 12 games.

Griffin (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of three players on the Jets' Week 14 injury report listed with an illness, Griffin looks to be trending toward playing Sunday after at least managing limited showings in practice Thursday and Friday. If Griffin's condition ultimately takes a turn for the worse ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the Jets would turn to Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco to handle all the snaps at tight end.

Griffin (illness) will return to a limited practice Thursday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin sat out practice Wednesday, so his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the tight end will head into the weekend listed as questionable or free from a Week 14 injury designation.

Griffin will miss Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old still has plenty of time to shake of the illness and return to health before Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Griffin has emerged as a low-end TE1 in many fantasy leagues, scoring eight or more PPR points five of the past six weeks.

Griffin caught five of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin recorded his third game with at least five catches this season, all of which have come in the past five games. New York couldn't get into the end zone in this one, so the tight end's modest touchdown streak came to an end at two games. Given the lack of quality alternatives at the position, Griffin should be in the TE1 mix when the Dolphins come to town in Week 14.

Griffin caught all three of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin only scored seven touchdowns in six seasons with the Texans, but he now has five touchdowns with the Jets in 2019, including four in the past five games. Given his productivity in green and white, it's no surprise the team opted to ink the 29-year-old tight end to an extension Saturday. Griffin's touchdown in this one came from one yard out on a beautifully designed play that had quarterback Sam Darnold look right before coming back left to Griffin with no Raiders on that side of the field.

Griffin signed a multi-year extension with the Jets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin is coming off a five-catch, 109-yard performance last week against the Redskins and will now spend a few more seasons in New York. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, it's a three-year extension and could be worth up to $10.8 million, and it also includes $4 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old has started all 10 games this season and has 25 catches for 269 yards and four touchdowns, and he's taken full advantage of the absence of Chris Herndon (ribs, suspension).

Griffin converted all five of his targets into receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 11 win over the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin was a deep target all game, as four of his five receptions went for more than 15 yards. His long catch of the day went for 48-yards when Sam Darnold found him wide open along the sideline. Just one play later, he hauled in a 16-yard pass to find the end zone for his fourth touchdown of the season. Given Chris Herndon's (rib) placement on injured reserve, Griffin should be in a good position to serve as the team's top receiving tight end option for the remainder of the campaign. He'll also have a strong matchup in Week 12 as the team will take on Oakland.

Griffin is expected to serve as the Jets' starting tight end Week 11 against the Redskins after teammate Chris Herndon was diagnosed Monday with a fractured rib, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't definitively rule Herndon out for the season, coach Adam Gase noted that the tight end would likely be out for "an extended period of time" as a result of his latest setback on the health front. Before moving into a more reduced role while Herndon made his season debut in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants, Griffin had played at least 84 percent of the snaps in each of the Jets' preceding eight games. Griffin proved to be little more than a marginal fantasy option during that stretch, however, totaling only 19 catches for 162 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets.

Griffin caught his lone target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin's disappearance coincided with Chris Herndon's return from a hamstring injury. While Herndon was quiet himself with just one catch for seven yards, Griffin's value should remain asymptotic to zero as long as Herndon's healthy.
