Rob Gronkowski, Tim Wright's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 6

Donald WoodOct 12, 2014

The New England Patriots have found success when the offense features two receiving tight ends, and the team targeted both Rob Gronkowski and Tim Wright during the Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Gronkowski is a fantasy football superstar. Despite coming off a serious knee injury, Gronk scored four touchdowns through his first five games and has been increasing his workload each week. Owners should expect more targets as he continues to find the chemistry again with Tom Brady. He caught seven of his nine targets for 94 yards.

On the other hand, Wright was acquired in a trade from Tampa Bay before the season began. He is a talented receiving tight end, but he has continued to learn the Patriots system on the fly. With a first-half touchdown against the Bills on Sunday, Wright is already proving he can make an impact.

Gronkowski is a must-start in every formatted fantasy league. He is already Brady’s favorite target, and he will remain a key cog in the New England game plan. For Wright, owners in deeper leagues should place a waiver-wire claim on him if he's available. He has serious upside for the Patriots, and owners who need help at tight end should take the educated risk.

With Brady playing better each week, the tight end position in New England will become a fantasy gold mine. Gronk is a sure-fire TE1 and Wright is a high-upside TE2.
