Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

Stats: 637 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns 

Rob Gronkowski owns the Pittsburgh Steelers. We all know this. Regardless of how good or bad their defense is from year-to-year, this big man has always performed very well against them. He will look to build off a marvelous Week 14 thrashing of the Miami Dolphins. Gronk caught eight balls for 107 receiving yards and one touchdown.

That my friends is fantasy gold. The Patriots don’t boast a record that would merit them sitting any of their starters anytime soon. So expect this group to keep plugging away until they secure their division. The stunning loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14 all but secures that we can finally use these Patriots playmakers in our fantasy playoffs.

Gronk looks to be back in full form. Hopefully his health remains. His overall numbers this season have been slighted due to injuries. Don’t look past starting this player if you’re lucky enough to have him on your roster. His four receptions and 64 yards receiving per game make him a high floor in PPR, even without a score.

Prediction: 85 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
