Tight End: Rob Gronkowski

Is this even a question? Rob Gronkowski leads all tight ends with 308 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in just three games. He’s outplaying most wide receivers in the league and has helped the Patriots offense become the league’s best. In fact, this Patriots offense is so good that it’s already drawing comparisons to the 2007 Patriots’ offense. Gronk, not Tom Brady, is the centerpiece of the Patriots organization, and his impact in both the passing game and running game has helped players like Dion Lewis and Julian Edelman break out as well. Gronk is the ultimate matchup nightmare, and he is easily the most dominant player at his respective position in the NFL, even more so than J.J. Watt.
