FF Today's Take:No surprise here after Gronk recovers from his second forearm injury of the season. This injury will create more opportunity for fellow TE Aaron Hernandez in this weekend's AFC Championship game. As for 2013, Gronk is expected to get healthy and be amongst the top fantasy options at his position.
