2.  Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski may have had his doubts about returning to the football field, but there is no doubt that he will be productive this season.

In 14 games last season Gronk had 69 catches for 1084 yards and 8 touchdowns. He put up over 140 fantasy points and was one of the best pass catchers in the league.

Gronk is the best tight end in the league and is projected to have 176 fantasy points at the end of the season. His production depends on his ability to stay healthy. We all know how Gronk seems to get hurt every season. One injury could ruin his entire season.

That’s why Gronk lands at No.2 on the list. His health is too unreliable. Still Gronkowski will score a lot of touchdowns and make a lot of catches which is why he will be picked early in drafts.

Until Rob Gronkowski retires he will continue to be the best option at tight end.
