Arizona Cardinals starting tight end Jermaine Gresham is officially listed as questionable for Week 1's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Gresham missed the entire preseason and was just recently cleared for full practice.
Jermaine Gresham injury update: Arizona TE a game-time call for fantasy owners
The Cardinals might be without their starting tight end to open the season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Gresham managed to practice three consecutive days in limited fashion this week. He will truly be a game-time decision for the Cardinals. Backup tight end Troy Niklas is also a game-time call.
Fantasy impact: We haven’t seen anything from Gresham since he landed in Arizona. He spent the offseason recovering from back surgery, and now he’s trying to get his hamstring to back in playing condition.
Fantasy owners should not be investing much stock in Gresham for the start of the season. A tight end with limited practice in a completely new offense is not a player you want to rely on to start your year. Gresham could make some noise eventually, but it’s unlikely he’ll be worth much in fantasy with so many mouths to feed in Arizona.
