Rob Gronkowski caught four passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns in New England's Week 2 win over the Chargers.
Like he did in Week 1, Gronkowski seemed uncoverable this evening, with the ball essentially vanishing into his enormous midsection whenever he was targeted. His 2010 touchdown total of 10 seemed unrepeatable this season, but with three scores in just two games, it's clear that's not the case. Gronkowski isn't just a TE1, he's an elite TE1.
Leaving all of the looks from Brady to Gronkoski since Hernandez is hurt, who should I pick up to replace Hernandez at TE ? Available considerable TE's on the waiver wire for me are Dustin Keller, Scott Chandler, Fred Davis, and Jeff King. Fantasy football wise I considered them valuable in that same order. I considered the following factors: 1) how often each TE's respective teams utilize TE's in the passing game, 2) if their respective QB's tend to like to use their TE's (especially on red zone scoring opportunities), 3) how good are the defense's each TE will face in the future (will they have to stay back to help block against good defenses), etc. Who should I pick up?

Brady in the 6th round Gronk in the 12th. Plus Rice, Forte, Turner, Britt and Austin. Scoring off the charts!

This guy might very well be the late round steal of the year.

start Gronk.................dudes a beast and Brady looks to him and Hernandez first. With Hernz out for a while I'd start Gronk.
