TE Rob Gronkowski (2 Viewers)

I'm up big so I think it would just be a point sprinkle but you never know when you need a few more.

Kendricks and Rico feel like the only ones with potential for any more than a couple of points at best.

 
My opponents making a serious run at lowest point total of the season so lucky for me I can roll with inactive Gronk tonight.

Next week I get Doyle off bye so I hope they keep Gronk off the field until he’s back to form, doubt it though.

 
As a Gronk owner, it pains me to say this, but the handwriting is clearly on the wall. It would be quite surprising if he didn't retire after this season (and pursue movies and pro wrestling crap).  Pats bye is week 11. Sort of hoping that they sit him through the bye to let him rest up a bit, and that he then shows some flashes before he rides off into the sunset. 

 
He's going to ride off into the sunset on my bench.  Now that Doyle is healthy and thru his bye, I'm not looking back.

Unfortunately, I also believe this TE legend is going to retire either after this season or next.

I'm leaning this way as well... after this season.

He already threatened it once this year (after being traded to Detroit). I assume New England is probably looking at future w/o Gronk... so I guess he may in fact hang 'em up.

Some hard miles on that body.

 
How we feeling about Gronk this week? ROS after bye? A desperate owner hurting at TE just offered Evans straight up. I also have Doyle ready to rock n' roll.

No brain'er, or not?

Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) is out for Week 10 against the Titans.

Rapsheet confirmed what The Boston Herald's Kevin Duffy reported early Saturday morning. With the Patriots' bye merely one week out, the team is taking the longterm approach with Gronk and hoping 27 days is enough to get the prolific playmaker back to full health for a late season run. The Patriots will face the Jets in Week 12. Nov 10 - 12:24 PM

Notice this OUT status was 2 hours ago. How long does it take YAHOO to catch up with this information??? We have IR status and I would like to make a move. GEESH!

Gronk still listed as questionable on their site. LET"S GO YAHOO FANTASY! I'm not sure if I am more upset with the GRONK BUST or Yahoo lol 

 
The OUT status is great news.

If he played this week, he would probably look like the same completely limited version of Gronk we saw two weeks ago.

If he can rest up this week and the bye, he'll have almost a month of rest before he plays another game and hopefully can get close to being back to his normal self... If he's not his normal self, he's not going to score fantasy points anyways...

As the Patriots depart for Tennessee, TE Rob Gronkowski has joined teammates as part of the traveling party, per a source. He is questionable. Expectation has been that Gronkowski won’t play, but nothing official until Bill Belichick makes the final call 90 minutes before kickoff

That explains his status. NFL.com says Gronk will not play. I'm good with sitting him to see if he can regain his playing health. 

 
Odd that he's travelling. Makes no sense to bring him if he's not going to play. Plane ride would only aggravate a back issue.

Especially with the bye next week. If he's banged up just give him another two weeks. 

I'm fully confident Bill will play this in the most optimal way to screw us all. 

 
So Shaq Mason ruled out this morning and M. Slater changed to questionable due to illness.

But nothing on Gronk.

Could be a true GTD. Wonder if Gronk is pushing to play. 

 
Was offered Burton & Edelman for my Gronk & Golladay in dynasty PPR. I'm on the fence with Shaheen coming back soon. Also, should I try to give MVS or Boyd instead of Golladay? Yay or nay?

Got OJ Howard for J. Howard a day ago. OJ owner also had Doyle and was desperate for RB help.

Finally got rid of J. Howard. Feel good about OJ as either Gronk insurance if not outright starting him over Gronk the remainder of the season.

After missing three of the past four games with a lingering back injury, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to be able to play in New England’s next game after Sunday’s bye against the New York Jets, per sources. More on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown.

This is either "it" for us or bust. Seems like Brady would look forward to his guy.

 
CBS reporting this as news that Gronk should be at full strength but there was no way Gronk didn’t come back after the bye given the contract incentives he needs to reach by the end of the regular season. 

Pats schedule is cake ROS, IF Gronk is 85-100% ROS hard to see how Brady doesn’t try to get him going so he gets paid.  That’s a big if though IMO, hope it works out but not holding my breath

At this point Gronk is very unlikely to hit most of his incentives. Not even sure if he can get 80% of offensive snaps given what he's already missed. He needs 70 catches and currently has 29. He needs to get 1,085 receiving yards and is at 448. He needs 9 TD and currently only has 1. And he only has 6 games to make up the difference.

Well, this is seems a little dramatic although unsettling as a Gronk owner.

I absolutely love this.

Nobody likes b board material like the Pats.

It's been 27 days since his last game. It's either time to roll or it's time to get on IR and join my OJ Howard. Get going Gronk.
