Rob Gronkowski caught six passes for 100 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was by far the best he's looked all season and he was a major part of the New England Patriots' bounce-back performance.
Rob Gronkowski posts biggest fantasy line of 2014 in Week 5

Gronkowski has now scored a touchdown in three consecutive games. He’s found the end zone in four of five games so far in 2014.
Fantasy impact: It’s just Gronk being Gronk. The Patriots have been bringing him along slowly but surely, and they fully unleashed their star tight end in primetime on Sunday night. If you bought low on Gronkowski, you’re sitting on a great value now.
Injuries will always be a concern given what’s he been through in recent years, but Gronkowski is an elite red zone option who scores an average of .83 touchdowns per game for his career. That’s a ridiculous mark that will continue to help fantasy owners win every week.
