New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski could cause a problem for the Seattle Seahawks during Super Bowl XLIX, because the Seahawks defense allowed 11 touchdowns to tight ends this season, which was third most in the NFL. Gronkowski led the Patriots in touchdown catches (12) during the regular season.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski has been a great fantasy option for owners this season and should be another good option even though he is facing a tough Seahawks defense. Gronkowski costs $7,777 (15.55% of the cap) on FantasyScore and should be worth the price for owners.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is often a tough matchup for opposing defenses, but Seattle Seahawks CB Jeremy Lane said he doesn't think Gronkowski is "that good." "He's OK. He does have a big body. But from what I've seen on tape, he doesn't like you putting your hands on him. So if we put our hands on him and shake him up a little bit, he won't catch that many balls," Lane said. Gronkowski caught 82 passes for 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. Lane could be lined up often against Gronkowski in the slot in the Super Bowl.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski ($7,777, 15.55% of cap) will cost you at FantasyScore this weekend, but it's either him or Luke Willson from the Seahawks, basically. You can save money by avoiding Gronk, but it's probably not the smart move.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has 17 catches for 297 yards and one touchdown in four career games against the Indianapolis Colts. He has gained 71 yards after contact as well.

Fantasy Tip: Gronk ($7,100; 14.2% of your cap) is unquestionably the best option at the position on FantasyScore this weekend. That means you're going to have to nail your sleepers to get ahead of your competition.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is likely to be covered by Baltimore Ravens FS Will Hill in the divisional round game Saturday, Jan. 10. "It's not just a one-man job, it's a team effort. He's not a slow guy. If you try to play off him, you're just giving him what he needs. If you play up, he has the strength to get through people. He's a beast. He has a lot of aggression," Hill said. Gronkowski has three catches for 45 yards in two previous regular season meetings with the Ravens. However, in the Patriots' one win over the Ravens in the postseason, Gronkowski had five catches for 87 yards on eight targets before hurting his ankle. Baltimore plans on jamming Gronkowski at the line of scrimmage to prevent him from getting into his patterns.

Fantasy Tip: Given the limited tight end options this weekend at FantasyScore, Gronkowski ($7,400, 14.8% of cap) is about one of the safest picks you can make for your daily lineups.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is likely to be removed from the Week 17 game early. Beat writer Mike Reiss believes the team will pull Gronkowski after the offense exhibits a rhythm against the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Tip: Gronk could play long enough to reach the end zone, but it's quite a risk to take on FantasyScore given his injury history and little incentive to play much.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski played in all 61 of the team's offensive snaps in Week 16 against the New York Jets, showing that he is completely healthy at season's end. TE Tim Wright played in only seven snaps in the first half compared to 25 in the second half with the team going to a faster tempo on offense.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski ($5,555) may not be the safest play at FantasyScore in Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills defense. The Patriots may also have everything locked up for homefield advantage, too, so Gronk could be rested. Be careful here.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski was on the field for all 57 offensive snaps in the team's Week 13 game. It is first time he has played every snap since he underwent surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament.

Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski looks to be completely recovered from his torn ACL and has been one of the top fantasy tight ends since returning. Gronkowski should be a starting option every week no matter the matchup.
