Kylen Granson’s Week 9 Outlook: Fantasy Projections and Game Info Against the Minnesota Vikings

Kylen Granson, the tight end for the Indianapolis Colts, is set to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9 of the NFL season. This matchup, scheduled for Sunday, November 3, at 8:20 PM ET, pits Granson against the Vikings’ 30th-ranked pass defense, which has conceded an average of 263 yards per game.

In terms of fantasy football, Granson’s projections are modest. He is expected to earn approximately 1.1 fantasy points in this game. To put this into perspective, Granson’s fantasy performance this season has been inconsistent, with his highest output being 4 fantasy points in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. In other weeks, he has failed to score any fantasy points.

The Colts will be led by a new starting quarterback, Joe Flacco, who has replaced Anthony Richardson for this week’s game. This change could potentially impact Granson’s involvement in the offense. Additionally, the Colts will be without starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann due to a concussion, and rookie Matt Goncalves will fill in for him.

The Vikings, despite their strong run defense, are looking to rebound from consecutive losses. They will have star tight end T.J. Hockenson back from an injury, and new acquisition Cam Robinson will make his debut as the starting left tackle following the season-ending injury to Christian Darrisaw.

For fantasy football owners considering whether to start Granson, it is crucial to weigh his recent performance and the team’s current lineup changes. Tools like 4for4’s Who Should I Start can help compare Granson’s prospects against other players).
