New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is starting to get it going for his team. He said he's "absolutely" back to his pre-injury form and it's showed up on the stat sheet.

He played 78.2 percent of snaps in Week 5 and that continues to trend up. Clearly, the Patriots are confident that Gronk will be out there, and even the short week against the New York Jets on Thursday shouldn't hurt his chances for production.
He’s been hot in his last two games, averaging 10.0 targets for 97 yards per game. The Jets have always focused on Gronk in their coverages, but this year they just don’t have the ammunition.
Fantasy impact: You're obviously going to start him. If not for Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas being on pace for 28 touchdowns, Gronk could be the top tight end the rest of the way. He may be a top-10 pick if we drafted today.
