Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots

FanDuel Price: $8,400

Projected Points: 11.4

With the high-priced studs, we are really looking for guys that can be counted on to anchor our lineups while not carrying much risk. With Rob Gronkowski still recovering from a hamstring, he was simply too risky to pay up for through the first five weeks of the season.

But his health has improved each week, and he was on the field for 65 snaps in Week 5, so we can comfortably put him in play.

Despite being overshadowed by his teammate Martellus Bennett, who led all tight ends with 27.70 FanDuel points after catching three touchdown passes in Week 5, Gronkowski still finished as the sixth-best tight end of the week. He hauled in 5 receptions for 109 yards, which trailed only Greg Olsen (181 yards) among all tight ends.

With Gronkowski getting healthier each week and Tom Brady back under center, Gronk figures to be a mainstay in this article. That begins this week against a Bengals defense that has already allowed three touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season.
