Gronkowski had another big game in Sunday's 43-21 win against Denver, catching 9-of-10 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown.
Gronkowski was a force, especially at one sequence in the second half, making a spectacular one-handed catch to place the ball near the goal line. On the next play, he easily scored on a quick slant, as he was no match for the linebacker trying to cover him. Over the last two games, Gronkowski has been virtually unstoppable, grabbing 18-of-19 targets for 254 yards and four touchdowns. Make sure to get him back in your lineup in Week 11, after New England's bye.

Gronkowski caught all nine of his targets for 149 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 51-23 win over the Bears.
A bout of dehydration after his third-quarter touchdown ended the tight end's afternoon, but prior to that he looked as healthy and dominant as he has all season. Assuming his continued good health, Gronkowski is automatic fantasy start, excluding the Patriots' Week 10 bye.

Gronkowski caught 5-of-10 targets for 68 yards in Thursday's 27-25 win over the Jets.
Gronkowski uncharacteristically dropped a pass, but he's back to looking like his usual self, which can also be said of both Tom Brady and the New England offensive line. While it's rather surprising that Brady tossed three touchdowns without one going to his star tight end, there should be some big weeks ahead for the prolific duo. Assuming he stays healthy, Gronkowski should be one of the three or four best options at his position week in and week out.

Gronkowski caught seven passes (on nine targets) for 94 yards in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Bills.
Per the Boston Globe, Gronkowski had a bit of an injury scare with his surgically-repaired left arm in the game, but he returned to action not long thereafter. Assuming no further injury setbacks, Gronkowski is in line to remain heavily-involved in the Patriots' passing attack going forward, and should thus remain a fixture in fantasy lineups.

Gronkowski (knee) caught six passes for 100 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 43-17 win over the Bengals.
Gronkowski played the majority of New England's snaps, even staying in a blowout deep into the fourth quarter. His snaps and role have been trending in the right direction, and the same can now be said of his team's offense. With the offensive line looking much improved, Tom Brady honed in on his tight ends Sunday night, allowing Tim Wright to add a 5-85-1 receiving line to Gronkowski's production. Next week's matchup with the Bills is tricky, but a healthy Gronkowski is always worth starting.

Gronkowski (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Gronkowski was on the field for 31-of-50 snaps on offense this past Monday against the Chiefs, but a week of fully practicing could foreshadow an increased role for the tight end on Sunday.

Gronkowski (knee) is probable for Sunday's night's game against the Bengals, ESPN.com reports.

Gronkowski (knee) was listed as a full participant at Wednesday's practice, the Patriots' official site reports.
It's notable that Gronkowski is practicing fully at this stage of the week, after previously being listed as limited. Gronkowski was on the field for 31-of-50 snaps on offense this past Monday, but his full participation at practice Wednesday could foreshadow the tight end seeing a higher percentage of snaps Sunday night against the Bengals.

Gronkowski (knee) caught 2-of-3 targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Gronkowski salvaged his fantasy night with an impressive garbage-time touchdown that came from the arm of backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The tight end played more than half of the offensive snaps, but he was still subbed out on a semi-regular basis. While Gronkowski should increase his non-touchdown production as the season moves along, it's rather concerning for his fantasy owners that the New England offense looks so bad. The pass protection has been particularly troublesome, which limits the team's opportunities to take decent shots downfield.

Gronkowski was limited at Saturday's practice for the third straight day, but the "probable" designation means he should be good to go for Monday night.

Gronkowski was on the field for 42-of-73 snaps on offense Sunday, as the Patriots continue to work the TE back (who is coming back from a knee injury) into the mix. While he's not in top form just yet, Gronkowski has managed to help out his fantasy owners out of the gate by notching two TDs in his first three games to start the season.

Gronkowski (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Patriots' official site reports.

Gronkowski (knee) was one of 10 Patriots' players listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, the team's official site reports.

Gronkowski (knee) caught four passes for 32 yards (on six targets) in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Vikings.
Per ESPN.com, Gronkowski played 28-of-67 snaps in the game, a contest in which the Patriots didn't have to rely heavily on the passing game. Gronkowski will no doubt have bigger games as the season progresses, but it's clear at this stage that the Patriots are not inclined to overuse the tight end, given that he is bouncing back from a major knee injury.

Gronkowski (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
We'd imagine that Gronkowski, who was on the field for 38-of-86 snaps on offense in Week 1, will see his workload increase in the coming weeks, but in any case, as long he suits up, he'll still see his share of targets on a weekly basis, in particular in the red zone.
