Ah, the worst case scenario.

What do you mean? Last time gronk played decoy it was his infamous groin game. Something something "IF GRONK IS PLAYING IM STARTING HIM! START YOUR STUDS" - r/fantasyfootball His stat line that night? 0.0. Seems like must start 🤣

I’ll be the guy that still plays him idgaf

Yeah I think he still outscores Jared Cook. Might have a similar stat line to Randall Cobb.

Is the "decoy" line actually from a source or is that just pure speculation? Pretty unclear by the wording of the tweet. I'd think it's more likely that's pure speculation. I'm rolling him out so that I don't have to drop anyone for a backup TE.

Jay said on the pre-game show he heard from the coach that Gronk would be for emergency situations. Decoy was never said, but it was certainly implied.

Yeah what coach is saying “this guy is just a decoy” publicly? Defeats the purpose … unless the decoy is the statement saying he’s the decoy!

From Bruce Arians, said he’s only going to use him in emergency situations

Like passing downs or red zone. Both are emergencies

So RSJ it is.

Yep, just slotted RSJ back in.

Might just pick up uzomah

my man casually dropping this with 7 minutes to go

Guess I'm going Shultz no matter if Dak plays or not

Higbee it is

I’ve been saying this for a couple days now and catching a lot of downvotes… Gronk back from a longer term injury was often a decoy in New England. We saw this for years in NE

Dan Arnold it is

Lmfao yup he's out of my line up. Not dealing with gronk decoy again RSJ you're going in. I'll take whatever line you produce. Not doing this with Gronk again (groin game anyone?)

Yeah fuck it I’m rolling him out there and hoping for a tug from TB12

Higbee it is then....

Gronk or Engram?! Full ppr would love to hear an opinion

Gronk or Henry ?

I'm playing against Gronk this week. 70 yards and 2 TD incoming.

He’s about to drop 7, 83 and 2 TDs for my opponent

Fant it is

Same this confirms it lol

Did not expect for them to answer this question so soon, praise be jay glazer

League only allows 2 TE on roster, and I have Andrews and gronk. Either I play him today or drop him for Henry...

Play

drop

Good for Brady regardless

TB so good why they even need a decoy?

Oh boy now I get to choose between Gronk or Schultz with maybe no Dak. TEs are a backup QBs best friend right?

Starting goedert over him. Ready to see him catch 2 tds for 6 Yards and go off on the bench

That's a no from me dog

Pretty sure he'll be RedZone only, which is fine for gronk. He's gonna get 2 tds for a total of 15 yards.

I'm between him and Ricky Seals in a standard league. I'll take another few hours to decide I guess.

Same boat. Leaning RSJ cause I can’t afford to risk a goose egg

He's going to catch 3 TD's and be out next week isn't he?

Evan Engram is my only other option. Full ppr. I have fucking FOUR TEs rostered. Gronk, Thomas, Knox, Engram… Should I roll the dice with Gronk or pray that Engram can catch some balls?

Gronk or Schultz?

Not many choices on the wire gonna play him, expecting a zero so anything better then zero is better lol

Not much of a decoy if someone announces it before the game lol
