Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 12
By Nick Villano
Bold Prediction No. 5: Gronk will look like Gronk again
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally got some reinforcements in the passing game when Rob Gronkowski returned to the lineup. He’s been out since a vicious hit to the ribs. He looked good as Tom Brady was constantly looking for him in the passing game. He had six catches for 71 yards. It was a good return, but he will turn back the clock this week.
The Indianapolis Colts have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position this season. They’ve allowed six touchdowns and 12 receptions in the red zone to the position. They haven’t faced quite the depth at tight end that the Bucs have. Between Gronk, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate, the Bucs have the best tight end group in the league.
Gronkowski is one of Brady’s favorite targets, and he will make a play for the league leader in points at the position this week. Expect at least one touchdown and Gronkowski might break the 100-yard mark.
