10. Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots

Rob Gronkowski is hands down the best tight end in football, and for that, he is tenth off the board.

Last season, we saw a healthy Gronkowski, as he played in 15 games, accumulating 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns. However, “Gronk” does find himself in a strange situation this season, as quarterback Tom Brady will miss the first four games of the season. That leaves Jimmy Garoppolo in charge of Gronk’s fantasy performance for the first quarter of the season.

Garoppolo and Gronkowski do have good chemistry, as back in Week 4 of last season, Garoppolo came in during the fourth quarter and connected with Gronkowski for a 13-yard touchdown. Other than that, there isn’t much to know between the two.

Whatever the case, Gronk is Gronk and he will find the end zone. He will be a driving force for the Patriots offense. Brady is only gone for four games and when he returns, there will be no surprises; Gronkowksi will be terrific once again for fantasy owners.
