Griezmann was on target in the 2-0 win over Osasuna on Thursday evening and reveals Fantasy Football is the reason for his form.
"I've signed myself on fantasy, so that's given me a boost," Griezmann told DAZN.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone has revealed that Griezmann has been a reference point for the young players at the club.
"Throughout my time at the club we've had great footballers and Griezmann is one of them," Simeone said.
"He has no difficulty in defending and playing the game that has to be and that's why he's one of our most important players.
"He's a reference point for our young players."
Griezmann is the only forward currently available at the club as Alvaro Morata was sent off against Osasuna while Memphis Depay remains out injured.
