Rob Gronkowski Needs To Score To Return Value
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Gronkowski played 54 snaps to O.J. Howard's 37, though he caught just two of three targets for 11 yards in Week 1. Tom Brady actually looked Howard's way more frequently, so Gronkowski probably needs to score a touchdown if he's not producing as much outside of the red zone. It's also possible that Tampa Bay goes with a two-tight end set more frequently in Week 2 if Chris Godwin (head) is out, giving Gronkowski and Howard more looks. At any rate, the veteran tight end is looking like a touchdown-dependent TE1/2 for Week 2.
