Unlikely. That stat line is about 32 PPR points, factor in the weather and the fact that Steelers have allowed the lowest amount of points to TE, I don't see him getting anywhere near that. I'm thinking he'll get 5 for 60. TD would be a bonus, but not guaranteed. Edited December 13, 2017 by TheLegacy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Steelers defense was less than impressive last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Steelers defense was less than impressive last week. I just don't see Gronk having his best game of the year in possible snow/sleet/rain conditions against a secondary that has been generally good. (7th best vs receivers). No Shazier means ground and pound, where they obviously struggled last week against. Gronk has only had 100 receiving yards twice this year (both against suspect defenses). I'll take under 60 with no TD over Gronk having the best game of the season under questionable weather conditions. Guess we'll have to wait until Sunday to see who's closer. EDIT: Looks like the weather updated. Snow/rain on Monday, but should be clear on Sunday if nothing changes. Still doubt Gronk goes for 30+ PPR points, but not as unlikely as before.

Shazier was one of the best coverage guys they had for TEs. I believe now SS Sean Davis will fill that role and he did a great job last week, but Gronk is a mismatch for anyone. The real question is how much pressure can PIT get on Brady? If PIT can mix up their blitz schemes and keep V.Williams/Watt and others coming while covering TB's hot reads then they could replicate what Miami did to NE on Monday. All signs point to a shootout though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The high of the day will be 42 and should occur around kickoff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watitdookie 73 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 No Shazier with his 4.3 speed to cover the TE... bring on watt/Dupree to cover better yet get a dB to... Gronkowski is going to eat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
