2020 Fantasy Outlook
Gronkowski resisted the urge to rejoin New England for a playoff run last year, but the chance to reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay was perfect motivation to put his retirement (and his pro wrestling career) to the side. The last time we saw him on a football field was Super Bowl LIII, where Gronk had 87 yards on seven targets and set up the game-winning TD with a diving catch between two defenders. But his final year in New England was otherwise disappointing, with the veteran handling his usual every-down role (91.3 percent snap share) and maintaining his per-target efficiency (9.5 YPT) yet drawing only 5.5 passes per game (down from 7.5 in 2017). The Bucs won't necessarily ask Gronkowski to occupy a three-down role, and while a lightened workload might help him stay healthy, it could also prevent a volume rebound. He's no higher than third in the pass-game pecking order, with wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin coming off 1,000-yard seasons. Then there's the matter of 25-year-old tight end O.J. Howard, who flopped hard in 2019 but still has rare physical gifts and a career 10.3 YPT. While trade rumors persist, the Bucs seem to prefer hanging on to Howard, and they even have Cameron Brate for the No. 3 TE spot. Looking on the bright side, Tampa Bay should have enough scoring chances for everyone to get in on the fun if Brady/Gronk Pt. II is a smash hit. Read Past Outlooks

Shines in Super Bowl win
Gronkowski brought in six of seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Following a very quiet postseason, Gronkowski reemerged in the offense at precisely the right time, as he'd frequently done in Super Bowls past with the Patriots. The veteran tight end got loose several times downfield against Chiefs linebackers and safeties, notching eight- and 17-yard scoring receptions in the first half. With Sunday's tally, Gronkowski pushed his Super Bowl career catch total to 24, the most by any tight end in the history of the NFL's title game. Gronkowski played the 2020 season on a one-year contract, but after producing a solid 45-623-7 line during the regular season and then showing he had plenty left in the tank Sunday, there's a good possibility he's back with the Buccaneers in 2021.

Jerry Donabedian dives into 2021 NFL best ball, picking 12th in his first draft of the year. With running backs flying off the board in the early rounds, there was value to be had at QB and WR.

Jerry Donabedian reads offseason tea leaves for every NFL team, including an up-and-coming Chargers squad that needs to make tough decisions on Hunter Henry and Mike Williams.

Tom Brady got his seventh Super Bowl ring, but the story of the game was the Bucs defense dominating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Few tight ends ever have made the fantasy impact Gronkowski did, but injuries and low-aiming defenders took their toll on his big frame over the last couple years, and he decided to call it a career during the offseason. Gronk thus ends his career with four 1,000-yard seasons, five double-digit touchdown campaigns, and the second-most receiving yards in Patriots history. A committee featuring Benjamin Watson, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Matt LaCosse will be tasked with replacing the fan favorite in New England, but none of those players possesses close to the fantasy ceiling that Gronkowski routinely brought to the table. It would be quite surprising if Gronkowski mounted a late-season comeback, but it's an unlikely scenario that can't be completely ruled out.
