TIGHT END

Rob Gronkowski ($8500) Patriots @ Steelers – Gronk certainly appears like he is “back” after torching the Bengals for 162 yards and a score. Since we are saving so much money with some of these quarterbacks and running backs this week, it looks like the time to finally pay the high price tag for a TE. The Steelers defense is currently ranked 30th in the NFL against the pass and let’s be honest, when Gronk and Brady are both healthy it doesn’t matter what defense they are facing.

Travis Kelce ($6300) Chiefs vs. Saints – Kelce let many people down last week as the Chiefs quickly switched to “game manager” mode taking the air out of the ball against the Raiders. Kelce did catch all three targets, but only ended with 32 yards. The Saints defense has been giving up piles of yards through the air and are clearly one of the worst defense in football. Kelce caught 72 balls last season and is due for a big game. I like him for at least 75 yards and a score this week.
