2023 Fantasy Outlook
Granson was at times the top target among the Colts' tight ends last season, but the team split targets and playing time between three tight ends and neither he, Mo Alie-Cox nor Jelani Woods was an impact fantasy option. Granson amassed 31 receptions for 302 yards and no touchdowns on 40 targets over 13 games, missing the final three games due to a concussion. He's seen as an athletic, field-stretching tight end and has shown signs of becoming a top option in the passing game, but he again faces crowded competition for targets with the Colts taking another tight end in the 2023 draft (fifth-rounder Will Mallory).

Targeted once against Texans
TEIndianapolis Colts
January 10, 2024
Granson caught his lone target for 23 yards in Saturday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Granson finished the season in quiet fashion, catching just one pass for the third time in the Colts' last four contests. In 15 appearances this season, the 25-year-old tight end recorded just 30 receptions for 368 yards and one touchdown. The Colts spread out the snaps and targets liberally among their tight ends in 2024, capping Granson's potential to produce consistently meaningful numbers for fantasy purposes. Entering the final year of his contract in 2024, Granson will hope to establish a more prominent role in the Colts' offensive plans, though he could face another threat to his playing time in Jelani Woods (hamstring), who saw plenty of involvement as a rookie in 2022 before having his entire 2023 campaign wiped out by injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could factor into offense
TEIndianapolis Colts
July 12, 2022
Granson should be given an opportunity to be a contributor at tight end in the Colts' offense this season, Mike Chappell of FOX 59 writes.
ANALYSIS
Granson was selected in the fourth round by the Colts in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he managed only 11 receptions for 106 yards in his rookie season. Jack Doyle has since retired to open up some snaps, though the team also drafted Jelani Woods and Andrew Ogletree this summer to bolster the position. Mo Alie-Cox is almost certain to top the Indianapolis depth chart at tight end, but Granson should still have a chance to make a greater contribution in his second season with less experienced options behind him.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
In his first NFL season, the 2021 fourth-rounder was limited to 11 catches (on 15 targets) for 106 yards in 17 games, but GM Chris Ballard believes that Granson has "big upside" due to his mobility. He's the leading candidate for the Colts' No. 2 tight end role but faces competition after the team took tight ends Jelani Woods in the third round (73rd overall) and Andrew Ogletree in the sixth round (192nd overall) in the 2022 draft.
Granson, who the Colts took in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, profiles as an athletic, field-stretching tight end. As a rookie, though, he's set to work behind Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox. As a result, immediate fantasy relevance shouldn't be counted on for the 6-2, 242-pounder out of SMU, who's essentially the replacement for fellow undersized tight end Trey Burton.
