Rob Gronkowski

Something is telling me Rob Gronkowski will breakout on Sunday.  While a nagging hamstring injury has limited the Pro-Bowl tight end, it is also possible both Gronk and the team have been taking it easy and easing him back in.  They have used him mainly as a blocker the last couple weeks in the only two games he has played this season.

However, with Brady’s return, Gronkowski will be unleashed.  And even if he is not the dominate, unstoppable beast, fans are accustomed to seeing, he will still be effective.  Speaking to the media Wednesday, tight end and captain told reporters that he is getting better each and every day and for now is just doing what the team is asking him to do.

"“Whenever I’m out on the field, I love to go full-go,” he said, “but they put me in the plays where they felt more comfortable and when I was in those plays, I felt like I was ready to roll.”"

With that being said, Gronkowski will definitely be some plays set up for Rob Gronkowski. I believe he will put smiles back on the faces of those fantasy football owners who were harassing him in the supermarkets.  He will also put smiles on the faces of Patriots fans while putting frowns on the faces of defenders for the Browns.
