Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski exit last Sunday’s game with a groin injury and he’s questionable to play. We’ve seen this before, so it’s a risky play for owners. But if Gronk is available, he always has the potential for a boom Sunday, but then again you better beware.

I’ve dropped Redskins tight end Jordan Reed a couple of spots; he’s dinged up and no question it’s affected his effectiveness on the field. Be cautious if you have him going this weekend.

At No.10, I’ve given Raiders tight Jared Cook a boost this week. Cook has a Prime Time quarterback in Derek Carr, and his 11 targets indicate a steady weekly diet in the passing game. This week Cook meets a Redskins defense that has allowed the 8th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including the 3rd most receptions and the most receiving yards through two weeks.

The running theme seems to be injured tight end, with the Seahawks Jimmy Graham coming in at No. 11. Other options like the Chargers Hunter Henry, Giants Evan Engram, and Colts Jack Doyle would be the most logical inserts for some of the depleted spots.

That’s My Take.
