Fantasy Football Player Notes

Is Griffin what everyone wanted Chris Herndon to be? He's now caught 25-of-30 targets for 269 yards and four touchdowns. Nearly all of his production has come over the last six games, which is when Darnold returned to the lineup. You do need to beware of two games mixed in there where he saw just one target against the Giants and two targets against the Patriots, though they were particularly bad matchups for tight end production. The Raiders are not one of those teams. They've allowed a league-low 60.8 percent completion-rate to the position, but that hasn't stopped production, as they've allowed the fifth-most points to tight ends this year. Much of it comes from the fact that they've allowed a touchdown every 11.3 targets to the position (fourth-most often). His inconsistent targets are maddening, but you can't overlook him as a streamer this week. He's in the low-end TE1/high-end TE2 conversation.
