Fri, 17 May 2013 12:32:01 -0700 New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm, back) could require surgery on his back for a disc issue he has been dealing with. Gronkowski recently underwent an MRI, and if he is forced to have the surgery, could be ready in the same amount of time it would take to recover from the arm issue. Fantasy Tip: Another red flag for the Patriots tight end. Add the back issues to the forearm issues, and the idea that when healthy, he would likely split looks with Aaron Hernandez, and it all leads to dropping Gronkowski on your draft board. If healthy, he is obviously still a TE1, but his health is a big question mark at this point.
Fri, 17 May 2013 10:12:01 -0700 New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm) will likely need a fifth surgery that would probably keep him out of the start of training camp if his infection hasn't cleared when they operate on him for the fourth time next week. The team won't have a true timetable until he undergoes another procedure next week. Gronkowski has been taking antibiotics. Fantasy Tip: Gronk's fantasy value as a top-tier tight end is in serious doubt until he has his surgery next week. That will give us a much better idea of whether he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. If another surgery is needed, you can probably count him out and drop him down in your rankings. Aaron Hernandez is recovering from shoulder surgery, but if he's ready for the start of the season and Gronk isn't, Hernandez's stock will shoot up.
Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:32:53 -0700 Updating previous reports, New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) could need around four months to recover from shoulder surgery. He could be put on the Physically Unable to Perform list when training camp opens. Fantasy Tip: That would leave him with enough time to be ready for the season. However, any potential setbacks could be costly. Julian Edelman is likely to be the main beneficiary if Hernandez misses time. He is used as a slot receiver pretty often, and Edelman could receive an increase in targets. Jake Ballard could also become an interesting name. However, it's still early - sit tight for now.
Sun, 21 Apr 2013 08:14:11 -0700 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) is not expected to participate in offseason workouts because he will be recovering from shoulder surgery. Hernandez is expected to face a recovery period of around four months. He likely will be ready for the start of the regular season unless he suffers a setback. Fantasy Tip: It appears like Hernandez will be taking it easy this offseason to allow his shoulder to heal. He likely has a good chance to be ready for the season and should be a No. 1 tight end for teams in 2013.
Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:47:20 -0700 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier this offseason.
Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:20:10 -0700 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) underwent shoulder surgery this offseason. He's unlikely to participate in OTAs and mini-camps this spring. Fantasy Tip: It doesn't sound too serious with the limited information we have. At this point, you can expect him to be ready for the season unless something else is revealed.
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:03:19 -0700 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez moved to Los Angeles and secluded himself from everyone while he changed his workouts this offseason in hopes of playing 16 games next season. "Just been training, trying to get my body right, get my strength up so I can have a decent season next year," Hernandez said. "I'd say more attention to specific muscles instead of just doing the basic bench, squat and all that other stuff. I'd say I started a little earlier this year to maybe try to get through 16 games this season."
Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:42:11 -0800 There is growing speculation that New England Patriots impending free-agent WR Wes Welker and WR Brandon Lloyd may not return in 2013. With TEs Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez on the roster, the offense would only have to change slightly without Welker. Hernandez would serve as the slot receiver, with Gronkowski working the middle of the field, in such a scenario. The Patriots may also not want to pay Lloyd a $3 million option he is due.
Wed, 06 Feb 2013 05:33:02 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez has rented a place in Southern California, in order to participate in offseason workouts with QB Tom Brady. Fantasy Tip: Hernandez could be an even bigger part of the passing game in 2013, if Wes Welker does not return, so participating in offseason workouts with Brady could help build even better chemistry with his quarterback.
Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:25:04 -0800 The New England Patriots are likely to focus their attention on building their wide receiver depth both through free agency and the draft. They need wideout insurance in case TEs Rob Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez suffer more injuries and are forced to miss time.
Mon, 14 Jan 2013 06:40:41 -0800 The New England Patriots scored 35 points and 433 yards a game in the 11 regular season games with TE Rob Gronkowski (arm) in the lineup. In the five games without him, the offense recorded 34 points and 417 yards a game. TE Aaron Hernandez was targeted 51 times by QB Tom Brady in the five games Gronkowski missed, and is regarded as interchangeable with Gronkowski, even though they're different players.
Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:16:04 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez will once again be the team's top tight end heading into the AFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 20, against the Baltimore Ravens, as TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm) broke his left forearm again and is out for the season. Fantasy Tip: Hernandez is a fantastic fantasy selection in playoff pools for the AFC Championship Game. He finished with six receptions for 85 yards againt the Texans Sunday, Jan. 13.
Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:43:42 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 10.
Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:46:44 -0800 Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said the team may use a cornerback to cover New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez in the Divisional Round playoff game. "If you put a corner on him they're not quite as good," Phillips said. "We hope we can match up well there. If they split him out wide and you put a corner on him instead of a linebacker they may look a little different. We'll have to see." Hernandez caught eight passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns when the two teams played in the regular season.
Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:47:01 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:00:03 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 27.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 14:56:46 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 26.

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:49:18 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez had 10 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy Tip: Hernandez has been fabulous since TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm) has been sidelined. Hernandez has at least eight receptions in each of the past three games, totaling 26 catches for 247 yards with three scores during the span. He is an obvious must-start heading into Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, even if Gronkowski is able to return.
Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:58:05 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 14, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 20:58:57 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez hauled in eight receptions for 58 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Week 14 game against the Houston Texans Monday, Dec. 10. It was Hernandez's third-career multi-TD game, and his first since Week 15 of his rookie season in 2010. Fantasy Tip: Hernandez sure made fantasy owners smile with his two scores, especially at an important time of the schedule. He'll look to carry over that momentum into Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers. That looks like an unfavorable matchup, but so did Monday's game against the Texans. Hernandez remains a Top 10 fantasy option at his position.
Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:51:35 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice Saturday, Dec. 8, for the third consecutive day. He is listed as questionable for the Week 14 game against the Houston Texans Monday, Dec. 10.

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:58:33 -0800 New England Patriots RB Danny Woodhead, RB Brandon Bolden, WR Donte' Stallworth and TE Aaron Hernandez could be options to return some punts since WR Julian Edelman (foot) will miss the rest of the season. WR Wes Welker is expected to be the main punt returner for the rest of the season.

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:53:07 -0800 Updating previous reports, New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) will be active for the team's Week 12 game against the New York Jets Thursday, Nov. 21, but he'll be limited in the game. TE Visanthe Shiancoe could see more targets as a result.

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:59:42 -0800 With New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm) out for Week 12 and TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) still less than 100 percent, the offense will likely employ more three-receiver packages than usual against the New York Jets. In recent weeks, they had been trending toward that anyway, with WR Julian Edelman seeing more playing time.
Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:04:21 -0800 Updating a previous report, New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Nov. 20, but he is expected to play in the Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 22, against the New York Jets barring any late setbacks. He has been sidelined since mid-October.
Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:19:21 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) said he expects to pick up the slack after TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm) suffered a broken arm in Week 11. "Whatever the change is, we've just got to make plays and fill that void that we're going to be missing," Hernandez said. Hernandez is still bothered by an ankle sprain, though, and hasn't played since Oct. 21. A decision on whether Hernandez will play Thursday, Nov. 22, will be made later this week.
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 04:10:41 -0800 New England Patriots TEs Rob Gronkowski (forearm) and Aaron Hernandez (ankle) play two different positions within the team's offense. There is the traditional "Y" position, who is 6-foot-5 or taller, at least 255 pounds, can run but absolutely must be a standout blocker. He has to be a viable receiver, but not a great one. There is also the "F" or flex tight end, who is 6-foot-3 or taller, around 235 pounds, must be able to run and be an excellent pass receiver. He does not need to be a good blocker. If the team wants to stick with that system while Gronkowski is out, TEs Michael Hoomanawanui and Daniel Fells could fill Gronkowski's "Y" position, while Hernandez and TE Visanthe Shiancoe would serve as the flex tight ends.
Sun, 18 Nov 2012 21:06:01 -0800 New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) is expected to return to action in Week 12 against the New York Jets Thursday, Nov. 22.
