ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 How many of us are starting Gronk tonight if he plays? He's a must play generally regardless of coming off of an injury, but...might they use him sparingly so he's healthy enough for when Brady comes back? Its easier to decide if you have a top 5 TE to substitute, but beyond that for me its not clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It would be easier to decide if he didn't have a 3rd string QB throwing to him - hell, he might even have Edelman throwing to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might make it easier to decide actually. He might not be playable at all until Brady is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Sounds like he will be active and I will be starting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Dobler Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I'm starting him, but won't be surprised if his output disappoints. Regardless, when in doubt, I always default to the "always start your studs" approach, even if the matchup looks bad or dicey. I've found that, at least for me, that is the approach that provides the most peace of mind. Update/ ETA: Rotoworld is now reporting that Gronk will be on a snap count, presumably rotating with Bennett.

theirish Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah I'm starting Dwayne Allen over him. I know it's Gronk, but on a short week, snap count and a 3rd string qb, I would not be starting him unless I was in a 16 man league with him.

MikesVikes Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 If your opponent had him would you rather see him in or out of his lineup? Probably out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan_5 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I guess it depends on who else you have. In a 10 team league were I can start 2 TE's I drafted both him and Jordan Reed (he fell, couldn't pass it up). I'd have to bench either TY Hilton or Jordan Matthews or Will Fuller or Sterling Shepard. I'm kind of torn actually. Whatever I decide will be wrong, but I'm leaning starting Gronk and sitting TY.

slambo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Starting him, my other option is Bennett and nothing much on the WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah I'm starting Dwayne Allen over him. I know it's Gronk, but on a short week, snap count and a 3rd string qb, I would not be starting him unless I was in a 16 man league with him. The short week shouldn't be a variable since he hasn't played yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm going to risk it and go with Gronk, start your starters/studs strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
