  Ravens | Baltimore gives Griff Whalen a look    Fri Jul 21, 12:06 PM

The Baltimore Ravens worked out free-agent WR Griff Whalen (Chargers) on Friday, July 21. Whalen underwent a physical and there is reportedly 'mutual interest', according to the Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec.

Footballguys view: We don't expect huge things from Whalen in a crowded position group. He's possibly a camp body. However, with the constant injuries to Keenan Allen and the rumors of season ending surgery for rookie Mike Williams, he might want to give his old team a call and see if he can get into a situation with more upside.

Free-agent RB Ronnie Hillman (Vikings) was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Chargers Tuesday, Nov. 22. WR Griff Whalen was waived in a corresponding move.

Footballguys view: The Chargers needed more depth behind starter Melvin Gordon. We don't see Hillman having much fantasy value with his new team. If he makes the active roster, Hillman may only mix in a tiny bit as a third-down back.

Miami Dolphins WR Griff Whalen has not done anything to cement the need for the team to carry a sixth wide receiver, especially if they have to go into the regular season with three quarterbacks and three centers.

Footballguys view: With Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills ahead of him, Whalen would have had a hard time generating any production.

  Colts | Two WRs have better chances to make team    Thu Jul 3, 07:12 PM

Indianapolis Colts WRs Da'Rick Rogers and Griff Whalen have a better chance to make the final roster if the team decides to keep six receivers on the final roster, because WR LaVon Brazill has been suspended for the 2014 season.

Footballguys view: Rogers has real upside and seems to have put his off the field issues behind him, though he is still blocked enough to make him no more than a high-ceiling dynasty stash for when Hakeem Nicks leaves and Reggie Wayne retires. Whalen was hot to end the season and could hold onto his slot position, which might make him an interesting stash in PPR leagues. Neither is likely to put up numbers this year though.

  Colts | LaVon Brazill suspended    Thu Jul 3, 04:32 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR LaVon Brazill has been suspended for at least one year without pay by the NFL for violating the policy and program for substances of abuse.

Footballguys view: Brazill is a repeat offender, in fact just had to deal with a four-game suspension last year. He wasn't worth worrying about offensively but was solid in special teams. Keep an eye on Da'Rick Rogers as a potential replacement though Donte Moncrief may see some extra works as the team tries to maximize their rookie pick.

  Colts | Three WRs may compete for one spot    Sun Jun 1, 08:57 PM

Indianapolis Colts WRs LaVon Brazill, Da'Rick Rogers and Griff Whalen may compete for one roster spot during training camp. It appears WRs Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton, Hakeem Nicks and Donte Moncrief are locks to make the roster.

Footballguys view: The most talented player here is Rogers, but his game lacks a lot of polish. We could see Brazill make the team because of his speed and ball-tracking ability. We feel Whalen is the longest shot to make the roster.

  Colts | Griff Whalen expected to be fine    Mon Dec 16, 06:18 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said WR Griff Whalen (calf) is expected to be fine after suffering a strained calf in the team's Week 15 game.

Footballguys view: Whalen gave the Colts offense (and special teams) some punch in Week 15. He has good chemistry established with Andrew Luck because they played together in college at Stanford.

  Colts | Griff Whalen makes first NFL start    Sun Dec 15, 10:28 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Griff Whalen started his first career game in the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, and he set career highs with four receptions and 45 yards. He also added a touchdown in the first quarter, and he returned punts for the first time in his career. He averaged 22.3 yards per punt return, including a career-long 51-yard punt return in the third quarter.

  Colts | Griff Whalen added to roster    Sat Dec 14, 11:05 AM

The Indianapolis Colts have signed practice squad WR Griff Whalen to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived CB Jalil Brown.

Footballguys view: It's off again, on again with Whalen. The team needs more wide receiver depth and that's why they make the move. We like Whalen in super deep dynasty leagues as he has strong hands and played with Andrew Luck at Stanford. However, his re-draft value is almost non-existent.

  Colts | Da'Rick Rogers could have prominent role    Tue Nov 12, 03:50 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said WR Da'Rick Rogers could work himself into a prominent role in the offense for the rest of the season. 'You've got a talented football player,' Pagano said, citing Rogers' size, speed and big-play ability. 'Now we are going to give him an opportunity because he's earned it.' Rogers has apparently learned the system quickly. Rogers could push WRs Griff Whalen and LaVon Brazill for the No. 3 wideout job.

Footballguys view: Rogers has an interesting size/speed combination. Off field and maturity issues caused him to get bounced from the University of Tennessee after finishing second in the SEC in touchdowns and catches as a sophomore. He finished out his college career with Tennessee Tech and was picked up by the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2013.

  Colts | Darrius Heyward-Bey has head injury    Mon Nov 4, 12:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (head) was being evaluated for a concussion after the team's Week 9 game, but head coach Chuck Pagano said Heyward-Bey was cleared.

Footballguys view: Heyward-Bey disappointed fantasy owners who thought he would have a larger role with the loss of Reggie Wayne. Instead, we saw more from T.Y. Hilton and Coby Fleener as the Colts came back to win against the Texans.

  Colts | No. 3 WR job up for grabs    Mon Oct 28, 10:37 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is uncertain who will step up as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind WRs Darrius Heyward-Bey and T.Y. Hilton with WR Reggie Wayne (knee) done for the season. WRs LaVon Brazill and Griff Whalen are expected to battle for the job.

Footballguys view: Brazill is a speedster who can flat out fly down the field. His skill set closely resembles that of Hilton. Whalen is more of a savvy route runner with good concentration. He has chemistry with Andrew Luck from their days together in college at Stanford. Fantasy owners need to monitor this situation to see who comes out on top.

Indianapolis Colts WRs Reggie Wayne, Donnie Avery and Griff Whalen recently worked out with QB Andrew Luck in Florida. Wayne said it will take time for he and Luck to build chemistry on the field but expects training camp to help their connection.

Footballguys view: Wayne will provide Luck with a steady veteran target he can trust. Avery could be the team's deep threat if he regains the speed he had earlier in his career. Whalen is a longshot to make the team but has plenty of chemistry with Luck from their time together in college at Stanford.
