Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

Hurricane Gronk looks like he is going to make landfall this weekend in the Meadowlands. I say Hurricane Gronk, because sometimes we think he is going to hit big, but he then fades out to sea, and all we see is a little rain. This matchup looks like it could be the big one, especially with Julian Edelman seeing plenty of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Much like the game against the Jets, Brady looked Gronkowski's way a ton. He saw 16 targets, and this is a similar situation. Football Outsiders ranks the Giants 25th against opposing tight ends this season, and we have seen teams with above average tight ends go off against the Giants. Jordan Reed, Benjamin Watson, Charles Clay and Jason Witten are the tight ends who've namely gone off. Gronk is by far the best tight end in the league, so if those guys can put up solid numbers, let's see what Gronk can do. The only downside is his high price tag, but with so much value this week, you can definitely work him in.

I'm all over paying up for Gronk this week, but I won't be able to help myself from also using some Jordan Reed. Thank goodness for the FLEX on DraftKings, because I may use the duo together there.

I love Reed and Gronk so much but I could make a case for several tight ends. I agree with Josh on sites where your able to play two tight ends I am doing it. We could see a repeat of week 1 this week.

Call ME biased, but all the Eifert for me across all formats. He looks so damn good.
