So I should probably mention I ' m a Pats fan too so I watch every game . The catch being that . against the Jets . they likely don ' t need him to be . With the game Edelmann had last week , Blount still playing great , Lewis looking great in first game , Mitchell having a great game and even White looking good they likely won ' t risk over the middle or end zone battles with Gronk . Why bother ? Plus people think Bennett had a bad game . it was game planning . Everyone was gushing about what a huge game he ' d have so Bill let them tight cover him and threw the other way . He was a decoy and a blocker . Also IMHO Gronk ' s blocking game is way underestimated . IF he plays this week it ' s likely limited and for his blocking and occasional end zone decoys that Brady will look off right away unless he ' s wide open . They won ' t him fight for it and risk aggravating the injury . He could also explode for 3 TDs but the narrative here suggests that if he plays it ' ll be limited unless he has some real physical practices over the next couple days . Belichick hates your fantasy football team . Always remember that
