Gronkowski caught 4-of-5 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win at Dallas.

Gronkowski was shadowed for most of the game by the athletic Byron Jones, and the rookie DB did a good job early, holding him to one catch for six yards. It was a little different in the second half, however, as Gronkowski made some nice grabs, including a 33-yard catch in the third quarter. Unfortunately, he didn't see any looks around the goal line, but it was still a solid game for the All-Pro tight end. Next week, he and the Pats will play at Indianapolis, which allowed him to score in both meetings last season.

Gronkowski caught four passes on seven targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 51-17 win over the Jaguars.

While Gronkowski didn't find the end zone on Sunday, he continues to pull his weight from a fantasy perspective. Those enjoying his production, however, will need to find a plug-in for him next week, with the Patriots on bye.

Gronkowski caught seven passes (on 13 targets) for 113 yards and a TD in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Bills.

As long as Gronkowski can stay healthy, he'll see plenty of looks in the New England offense and remains locked into fantasy lineups, that is until Week 4, when the Patriots are on bye.

Gronkowski caught five of eight targets for 94 yards and three touchdowns in Thursday's 28-21 win over the Steelers

Gronkowski also recovered a fumble inside the Pittsburgh one-yard line, initially getting credit for a touchdown, which was overturned upon review. His first score came from 16 yards out in the second quarter, with Gronkowski breaking a tackle to turn a short pass into the season's first touchdown. He caught a six-yard touchdown later in the second quarter, then added a one-yard score in the fourth quarter, just a few plays after he ripped off a 52-yard gain. The Patriots will now prepare for a tough Week 2 matchup against the Bills, with the Gronkowski-to-Brady connection looking as strong as ever.

ESPN.com suggests that Gronkowski is among the Patriots' players not expected to play in the team's preseason finale against the Giants on Thursday.

Keeping Gronkowski healthy in the advance of the 2015 season is understandably a priority for the Patriots. Meanwhile, Thursday's news that QB Tom Brady's four-game suspension has been nullified provides a lift to Gronkowski's early-season prospects, though even before that development, he sat atop fantasy rankings at the tight end position.

Gronkowski did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers, csnne.com reports.

With little to gain by exposing their star TE to unnecessary injury risk, the Patriots predictably rested Gronkowski on Friday. In the absence of any injury setbacks, look for Gronkowski to remain clearly atop fantasy rankings at the tight end position.

Gronkowski is a candidate to be held out of Friday's preseason game against the Panthers, ESPN Mike Reiss reports.

Gronkowski has been held out through the Patriots' first two preseason games, and that trend could well continue Friday, since there's not much upside to exposing their star TE to any unnecessary injury risk. Assuming his continued good health, Gronkowski is in line to remain clearly atop fantasy rankings at the tight end position.

Gronkowski remained on the sidelines during Thursday's preseason opener against the Packers, ESPN.com reports.

Gronkowski is currently in good health and the Patriots would like to keep things that way. Assuming he is able to avoid the injury bug this coming season, Gronkowski can be expected to retain his status as fantasy's top tight end.

Gronkowski looked sharp on the first day of training camp, while hauling in several impressive receptions in traffic.

The report further referred to the tight end as "the best player on the field" on Thursday, a positive assessment that provides a reminder that Gronkowski enters training camp in good health and poised be a major factor in the New England offense from the get-go. While starting QB Tom Brady is presently slated to serve a four-game suspension to start the season, we'd still expect presumed fill-in Jimmy Garoppolo to lean heavily on the key cogs such as Gronkowski and wideout Julian Edelman early on.

Gronkowski caught 6-of-10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 Super Bowl win over the Seahawks.

Gronkowski had a nice game, but the Seahawks actually did a solid job of holding him in check, with the exception of a 22-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter that saw him roast Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright. The ensuing spike was Super-Bowl caliber, and Gronkowski would later catch two passes for 33 yards on the game-winning drive. He will likely be the near-consensus top tight end for 2015.

Gronkowski caught three passes (on eight targets) for 28 yards with a TD in Sunday's 45-7 win over the Colts in the AFC Championship Game.

While it wasn't a vintage effort for Gronkowski, the tight end managed to score in his fifth consecutive game and he'll no doubt be a big part of the Patriots' game plan against Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX.

Gronkowski was targeted 13 times in Saturday's 35-31 playoff win over the Ravens, hauling in seven receptions for 108 yards an a touchdown.

Gronkowski helped rescue the Patriots in the second half, looking like his unstoppable self. He'll again be one of Tom Brady's primary targets at home next week against either the Broncos or Colts.

Gronkowski is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

With the Patriots having clinched the top playoff seed in the AFC, they'll play it safe with their star tight end on Sunday, with Tim Wright a candidate to see added looks in the team's Week 17 offense as a result.

With the Patriots having clinched the top playoff seed in the AFC, Gronkowski is a candidate to see limited work in Sunday's game against the Bills, ESPN.com's Mike Reiss reports.

The report suggests a potential scenario in which the Patriots attempt to develop some momentum on offense out of the gate Sunday, and if that arrives, Gronkowski would be a candidate to take a seat. For his part, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe believes that the team may even elect to rest Gronkowski altogether, given his injury history. In any case, given that it's unclear how long the Patriots' key cogs on offense will be on the field in Sunday's game, which is meaningless from a playoff seeding perspective, Gronkowski looks like a risky fantasy roll in Week 17.

Gronkowski caught six passes on 10 targets for 31 yards and a TD in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Jets.

Gronkowski has now scored in three straight games and as long as the Patriots have something to play for in Week 17, he'll be in line for his share of targets next Sunday against the Bills.

Gronkowski recorded three catches for 96 yards with a TD in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

Gronkowski -- who saw eight looks in the contest and scored for the second game in a row -- will take aim at a beatable Jets' pass defense next weekend. He remains in fantasy lineups as long as he stays healthy.

Gronkowski caught 8-of-11 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Chargers.

The Chargers did a nice job of tackling the hulking tight end, but covering him was a different story. Gronkowski's 14-yard touchdown came on a perfectly-thrown ball to his back shoulder, giving cornerback Brandon Flowers little chance to make the play. With Jimmy Graham suddenly struggling in New Orleans, Gronkowski is the clear top option at his position, heading into a Week 15 matchup with the struggling Miami defense.

Gronkowski caught 7-of-12 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss at Green Bay.

Gronkowski made several difficult catches in traffic, and nearly scored at one point on a reception in the red zone, getting dragged down near the goal line, after he had broken a couple of tackles. Despite not scoring, Gronkowski led the Patriots in targets and yardage, while tying Julian Edelman in receptions. Next week, Gronkowski will face a Chargers' defense that has defended opposing TEs well this season.

Gronkowski caught five of 10 targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 34-9 win over the Lions.

Though he didn't find the end zone Sunday, Gronkowski continues to see plenty of targets in the Patriots' offense and thus remains a fantasy lineup lock, as long as he stays healthy.

Gronkowski caught 4-of-5 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-20 win over the Colts.

Gronkowski mostly had a slow receiving night while the Patriots deployed a run-heavy gameplan, but the star tight end came up with one of his typical tackle-breaking touchdowns to put the game away with under seven minutes remaining. The 26-yard scoring strike provided a huge boost to his stat line, capping off a game largely spent as a run blocker. The Patriots have a tough Week 12 matchup with the excellent Lions defense, but it's hard to bet against Gronkowski in any situation.
