Start: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

@ Miami Dolphins

This has been one of Rob Gronkowski’s least productive seasons as an NFL player. He has battled through injuries which have obviously slowed down the hulking tight end. Gronkowski has long been a touchdown machine, but this year he has only two.

The New England Patriots need a healthy and productive Rob Gronkowski if they hope to make another Super Bowl run. Both the NFC and AFC have talented teams that will make that road difficult for the Patriots.

Sit: David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

vs. Carolina Panthers

David Njoku remains one of the more frustrating fantasy football options at the tight end position. He has so much talent that it’s hard to watch him have a game like he did last week. Njoku totaled only eight yards on six targets and three catches.

This week the Cleveland Browns face a Carolina Panthers defense that features extremely athletic linebackers. The likes of Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and Shaq Thompson have the athleticism to make things tough for Njoku.

Obviously, he does have the upside to have a big game. The problem is that it’s a risk to put him in your lineup. It’s playoff time and we all need a little more consistency than what Njoku can offer.
