Kylen Granson To Return In Week 9
Kylen Granson (concussion) was a full participant in practice all week and was removed from the final Week 9 injury report on Friday. Granson has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will return to the field for the Colts after missing the last two contests. The 25-year-old's return is bad news for Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox, but neither of the two were realistic fantasy streaming options at the position the last two weeks anyway. Granson has 16 catches on 26 targets for 170 yards and one touchdown so far this year. He's probably the best bet for fantasy production in the Colts' tight end committee, but fantasy managers should be able to find better TE2 streaming options in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.

Kylen Granson Sees Three Targets In Win
Kylen Granson caught two of his three targets for 17 yards in the team's preseason win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Granson's third and final target came from quarterback Anthony Richardson and was intercepted for a pick-six by Cincinnati. Granson played alongside all of Indy's starters in the first and second quarters, indicating that he has locked up the job as TE1 for the Colts this season. While it's unlikely that the volume in the Colts' passing attack this season can propel Granson into fantasy relevance, fantasy managers can consider him a streaming option with a chance to be upgraded, depending on how he is utilized.

Kylen Granson Has Early Lead For Starter
Kylen Granson has reportedly been impressive early on in camp. It looks like the Colts are having an open tryout for starting tight end with no real standalone star in the picture. At the moment, Granson has appeared to take an early lead in the running for starter, but there's still plenty of time left in camp. Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods are also candidates, but they appear to offer a little less upside. Over the last two seasons, Granson has hauled in 30-plus receptions and 300 or more receiving yards in both campaigns. His fantasy value is going to be dependent on how the Colts decide to use the tight end position next season.

Kylen Granson Leads Way With 62 Yards In Week 16 Loss
Kylen Granson led the team when he reeled in five of his seven targets for 62 yards in the team's 29-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Indy found themselves struggling to move the ball in this one, and with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) out, Granson was able to step up and see some additional volume. The Colts have shuffled around numerous tight ends this season, so it's unclear if Granson's volume will continue moving forward. The former SMU Mustang may be an interesting waiver wire pickup in Week 17 but isn't a sure-fire option for the team's next matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kylen Granson Looks To Be Past Concussion
Kylen Granson (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. Granson has missed the Colts' last two games while being in the league's concussion protocol. The 25-year-old hasn't officially been cleared, but the fact he was listed as a full participant in the first official practice of the week is a good sign he'll be able to gain clearance in order to return to action in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. Drew Ogletree scored a touchdown and benefitted from Granson's absence in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints with more playing time. If Granson is able to play this weekend, he'll continue to share work with Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox. Fantasy managers should be avoiding the Colts' TE situation in most leagues.
