Rob Gronkowski Week 11 Outlook -

He got back to his Gronk-like ways in Week 11, scoring for the fourth time in five games. He's also totaled at least 41 yards in six of the last eight games, so he's providing a floor that not many tight ends have. The Rams have done a phenomenal job with wide receivers, and that's likely what's led to tight ends accounted for 21.4 percent of the production to skill-position players against them, which ranks as the fourth-highest number in the league. Opponents have also given their tight ends a 24.3 percent target share (3rd in NFL), which also bodes well for Gronkowski's floor in this game. The matchups on the perimeter are brutal, which is why we should expect to see a few more targets funneled Gronkowski's way this week. The targets that have gone to tight ends, which is a big sample size, haven't amounted to much, as the 6.03 yards per target indicates. George Kittle was the only tight end who totaled more than 42 yards against them, which seems bad, but six tight ends have caught four-plus passes. Knowing Gronkowski is harder to bring down than the average tight end, his catches should net more yardage, especially considering the Rams can't exactly focus on shutting him down with Evans, Godwin, and Brown out there. Gronkowski should be viewed as an every-week TE1 at this point.
