Rob Gronkowski retired after the 2018 season, after the worst season of his career statistically. He played in 13 games and only received 72 targets, putting up 47 receptions for 682 yards and 3 touchdowns. Is that who Rob Gronkowski is now, or was that an aberration?
During his heyday from 2011 through 2015, he scored 55 touchdowns in five seasons, and put up over 1,000 yards in three of those seasons. In the other two, he only played in 7 and 11 games. As recently as 2017, the season before his last, he received 105 targets and had 69 receptions for 1,084 yards and 8 touchdowns. And that was in just 14 games. If he can return even to that level, he will be a top-five tight end for fantasy this season.
Whether he can do that remains to be seen. We just don't know if he has lost a step, and we just don't know to what degree his decline was related to his unhappiness in New England. If he is again having fun and motivated to succeed, it is entirely possible he has a return to statistical dominance.
So much of projecting Gronkowski is tied to his injury history. He has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but injuries are still difficult to predict with any certainty. An argument can be made that he is worth the risk as a 7th-round pick, which is where he currently sits in ADP (average draft position). However, with so many upside players available at tight end, some may decide he carries too much risk even at that draft slot. I prefer to take a pass on Gronk's ADP and look for better value options later in the draft.

 Antonio Brown ruled out for NFC Championship game
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 22, 11:30 am
|  | The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will not have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Green Bay Packers, coach Bruce Arians announced Friday.
"I just talked to him this morning, and to put him on the plane and fly up there and have it swell more doesn't make any sense," Arians said. "He wasn't as close as we'd hoped, so we'll get him ready for the next one." (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: AB missed practice this week after injuring his knee in the Divisional Round against the Saints. In his absence the Saints will lean on Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Scotty Miller and rookie Tyler Johnson at the receiver position. Evans and Godwin should be the primary targets. Note that tight end Cameron Brate has out-targeted Rob Gronkowski 11 to 6 during the playoffs.
