New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski still is considering whether to play the upcoming 2018 season, and a team source said Gronkowski and the Patriots are keeping in touch.

Fantasy Tip: If Gronkowski plays he has to be considered a TE1, one of the best in the league. Still, the Patriots appear to be playing the cards the right way and making sure they have a backup plan.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is around 260 pounds, according to a source, which is about five pounds lighter than his playing weight. He's expected to re-gain the weight before camp. Gronkowski has been working with QB Tom Brady's trainer, Alex Guerrero, which stirred the pot with head coach Bill Belichick. At one point early last season, Belichick chastised Gronkowski in front of the players for working with Guerrero, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: The friction with Belichick is starting to leak out, and it somewhat explains Gronk's hesitance with playing next year. His physical condition adds traction that he will be back, though. He'll be a high-end TE1 in fantasy.

Updating previous reports, New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski hasn't been involved in trade talks, and the Patriots expect to keep him.

Fantasy Tip: Gronk remains a high-end TE1, but his laundry list of injuries add enough risk to consider some others that are closing the gap.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski will have teams calling about acquiring him, according to MMQB's Albert Breer.

Fantasy Tip: It's probably more likely that Gronk stays in New England, but the wear-and-tear scare is harvesting around his fantasy stock. He's still a high-end option, but the gap is closing between him and the field.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is leaning towards playing next season, according to sources close to Gronkowski.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski is still an elite fantasy tight end when he is on the field, but the injury concerns aren't going away. The upside is undeniable, but make sure not to reach for him on draft day.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski's odds of being traded are increasing, a source friendly with head coach Bill Belichick told the Boston Sports Journal's Greg A. Bedard. "(Belichick) imagines you gone," the source said. "The longer Gronkowski goes without saying he's all in, the chances of him being traded increases."

Fantasy Tip: Gronk hasn't played 16 games since 2011, but most seasons he doesn't have to. The number of injuries is mounting on his soon-to-be 29-year-old body. The tight end position has blossomed enough that, it really isn't a "Gronk or bust" spot anymore. He'll be a high-end TE1 regardless, but one has to wonder if the risk is worth the reward.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski still has not decided if he will retire or if he will play in 2018, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: Owners should continue to monitor the situation because Gronkowski is one of the best tight ends in the NFL. He would be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts if he decides to play next season.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is expected to return for the 2018 season after pondering retirement and other opportunities, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski is the best tight end in the NFL when he's in good health. With Tom Brady also returning, Gronk once again deserves to be the first tight end taken in fantasy drafts despite the injury risks.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski had been thinking about retirement "long before" the loss in Super Bowl LII, according to Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com.

Fantasy Tip: This is potentially bad news for anyone hoping Gronkowski was just having an emotional response to the Super Bowl loss. His future remains up in the air at this point, but he would remain the top fantasy tight end if he does play in 2018. The uncertainty could make him a buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues.
