Gronk: I'm a blocking tight end

Sep 25, 2020

While talking with reporters, Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski said "I'm a blocking tight end." Says, kind of half-joking, that four targets in two games is four more than he thought he would get, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic.

Gronkowski added that his role can change week-to-week.

Fantasy Impact:

Gronk has been a zero in Tampa Bay's passing offense. Head coach Bruce Arians is not afraid to limit the tight end role in his passing offense, but a lot was put in to reuniting Gronkowski with new QB Tom Brady. It has only been two weeks, but Gronk is almost waiver wire fodder.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
