Rob Gronkowski (53 last week) 85
The veteran tight end will return this week after missing the previous four games with rib fractures. The fractures will have healed by now, but he may have trouble getting up to game speed at first.
T.J. Hockenson (66 last week) 83
Hockenson is listed with a knee injury for the third straight week and is listed as questionable. The 11 targets he got last week against the Bengals were reassuring, but Hockenson still doesn’t look like the dominant tight end that got off to a hot start earlier this year.
Jonnu Smith (93 last week) 52
The Patriots backup tight end suffered an AC joint sprain this week and is questionable to play. We doubt he suits up, especially because Hunter Henry handled the tight end duties well when Smith left last week’s game.
C.J. Uzomah (84 last week) 90
The 28-year-old tight end had two touchdowns for the second time this season. He is working his way back from an Achilles tear early last season, but has looked good lately.
