Jermaine Gresham is a rare instance of a tight end elevating because of injury, but it could very well be enough to give Gresham a big Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tyler Eifert sustained an injury - suspected to be a dislocated elbow - in Week 1 and shouldn't be back to play any time soon.

Gresham did finish the day with just two receptions for 16 yards, but the Bengals are favored by 5 over the Falcons in a game that has an over/under of 48 points. That suggests good things for the Cincinnati offense.

Gresham isn't really a high-volume guy, but without Eifert there, he'd have an easy path to tight end targets in what should be a pretty pass-friendly game.

He probably won't win you your week, but he's got the chance to fill in nicely for a sneaky tight end play.
