Steelers | Xavier Grimble a potential starter? Fri Jun 23, 09:57 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble could push TE Jesse James for the starting job if he can become consistent catching the football, according to Bob Labriola of Steelers.com.
Footballguys view: Grimble is considered a darkhorse candidate to be the starter for the Steelers. He'll have to beat out Jesse James for that top spot, but there's not a lot of fantasy value here. The Steelers will fill the air with footballs in the passing game, but a majority of targets are bound for guys like WR Antonio Brown, WR Martavis Bryant and RB Le'Veon Bell. |

Steelers | Xavier Grimble primed for more playing time? Sat May 20, 06:06 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble played more than twice as many snaps per game with Ladarius Green out than in last season. Prior to breaking his ribs in the second half of last season, Grimble averaged 19.9 snaps per contest.
Footballguys view: Writers are only left to speculate who is going to be the lead tight end for the Steelers now that Ladarius Green has been released. Grimble is not a plus-athlete, but his big body (6'4" 261 pounds) helps him box out smaller defenders. He'll compete with Jesse James (the likely favorite) for the starting tight end job in 2017. |

Steelers | Xavier Grimble re-ups with Steelers Wed Feb 8, 09:24 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers exclusive rights free-agent TE Xavier Grimble signed a one-year deal with the Steelers Tuesday, Feb. 7. The NFL minimum for a player with one year of service time is $540,000.
Footballguys view: Grimble played 197 snaps for the Steelers in 2016 during the regular season. At 6'4" 257 pounds, Grimble knows how to use his frame to 'box out' smaller defenders. He'll compete as a reserve tight end for the Steelers, but we'll monitor his progress in super deep dynasty leagues. |

Steelers | Xavier Grimble may have bigger role Fri Jan 6, 06:16 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble likely will have a bigger role in the passing game if TE Ladarius Green (concussion) is not able to play in the Wild Card playoff game against the Miami Dolphins.
Footballguys view: Grimble had a larger role with Green out at the end of the season. The Steelers will spread the field and use multiple assets to attack the Dolphins through the air. Guys like Grimble, Green (if he plays) and Eli Rogers could be in for quality targets on Sunday. |

Steelers | Xavier Grimble sees time with first team Fri Jul 29, 08:28 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble received snaps with the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills Friday, July 29.
Footballguys view: Ladarius Green is still coming back from offseason ankle surgery and 2015 fifth-round pick Jesse James isn't as well suited to play in the downfield passing game, so every day Green misses is a good thing for Grimble, who has good hands and ball skills and has been the subject of positive offseason reporting as he has been working his way up from the practice squad. |

Steelers | Xavier Grimble could step up Sun Mar 13, 08:03 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Xavier Grimble impressed the coaching staff in practice last year with his ability to catch passes down the seam, and he will be in the mix for the No. 2 tight end spot behind TE Ladarius Green, according to general manager Kevin Colbert.
Footballguys view: Undrafted out of USC in 2014, Grimble has bounced around to a few teams during his short time in the NFL. We've always had an appreciation for his athletic skill set in dynasty leagues. This news should influence you if he's on the waiver wire in deeper leagues, but re-draft owners don't need to worry about rostering Grimble just yet. |
