Ryan Grant 2019 Player Outlook: Do Not Ask For Much
5 years agoGrant’s 2018 campaign was a total disaster. He had a $29 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens voided after he failed his physical and had to end up settling for a one-year, $5 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Instead of having a productive season with Andrew Luck as his quarterback, Grant had only 35 receptions for 334 yards and one measly touchdown. Grant has now moved onto the Oakland Raiders, where the odds of him mounting much in the way of fantasy stats behind Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams are about 1,000,000-to-1. He is not guaranteed to be the Raiders’ No. 3 WR, and even if he is what could fantasy players expect from him? Grant has amassed 1,319 receiving yards and seven touchdowns…in five seasons! Brown can easily do that in one year. Grant is a possession receiver with little explosiveness (11.1 career YPC) and does not have the physical talents to be an above-average receiver in the NFL. The most you can expect from him at this point is 50 receptions and 520 yards, which is not going to help win you many fantasy leagues unless you are in an AFC West league or a 50-team league.
