Fantasy Football: Five tight end replacements for Rob Gronkowski
By Phil Naegely
1. Scott Chandler
One player who should see a big increase of targets and the ball in Week 13 is Scott Chandler. Lining up alongside Gronk this season hasn’t seen Chandler see the ball much, however, he showed in Week 12 what can happen when he has to replace Gronk on the field. With five catches for over 50 yards and a touchdown, he earned 11 points, which was a season-best
In Week 13 the Patriots will face an Eagles defense that is nowhere as good as the Broncos. Chandler should have a majority stake in the Patriots offense on Sunday. Don’t be surprised if the Eagles get blown out and Chandler fills in perfectly for Gronk with a big game.
Chandler is no Gronk by any means, but he will be the person who sees the most increase in production with the tight end on the sideline. This also means fantasy football owners should be flocking to their computers and picking Chandler up. It’s a no-brainer and he is only owned in about 75% of the leagues, which is an increase of almost 73% compared to Week 12 rosters.
