show me the murray 49 Posted September 15, 2020 TE is a bit of a blind spot for me. I like filling out RB/WR in the first 5/6 rounds so I never take one of the top guys, and almost always end up scrambling at the position later on. I thought Gronk would be a bit boom/bust this year but I got him in the 10th round of a 14-team draft (#139 overall) which I figured was decent value for the risk. I have Jack Doyle as a backup. Gronk only got 3 targets this week but he did play 77% of the snaps so it's not like he wasn't on the field. I don't know whether to try to move him or bench him. Got a feeling the Bucs and Brady will have a bit of an FU game against a pretty weak D of Carolina, so I could see Brady trying to force feed Gronk. But I don't want 2 points again! I love Jonnu Smith this year - missed him in the draft and wanted to try to trade Gronk for him straight up (Smith owner is a big Patriots/Gronk guy) but I reckon after his TD last night that's probably a no-go until he has a poor game. So... roll with Gronk again? Bench him? Or drop/trade him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted September 15, 2020 I don’t see a lot of production coming from Gronk this season. So yes bench drop or trade. I wouldn’t give up J Smith for him either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
show me the murray 49 Posted September 15, 2020 I don't think anyone's trading for him right now. My hope for Gronk was he'd have a hot start to the season while he's healthy and perhaps someone would be convinced he's the old Gronk and trade him for a TE with more upside (like J Smith). I kind of feel like I have to hold him for a bit and hope for better this week. Would you start Doyle over him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted September 15, 2020 I wouldn’t trade J Smith for him. I would trust Doyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 15, 2020 1 hour ago, show me the murray said: Would you start Doyle over him? Absolutely. Doyle is a TE1; Gronk is just a bye week lottery ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark91G 13 Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah I feel gronk is more there at a good blocking TE to buy Brady time and as a comfort for Brady knowing what he gets from him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuxedosam 4 Posted September 16, 2020 I think Gronkowski will be a hit or miss like a rollercoaster. I’d drop him or better yet trade him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
show me the murray 49 Posted September 17, 2020 I’m gonna hold him for another week and see if I can get anything back from him. Don’t want to start him though. I was going to start Doyle but now it’s looking like he’s banged up. Is it worth taking a punt on Logan Thomas? As a Cardinals fan I remember too well how badly tight ends abused us last year.

AxeElf 787 Posted September 17, 2020 I would definitely get Thomas for Gronk. Between he and Doyle, you should be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted September 17, 2020 I would agree, Gronk isn’t worthy of a roster spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
