ROB GRONKOWSKI
Pair of TDs in win Gronkowski brought in four of five targets for 39 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Through two games, Gronkowski looks to have turned the clock back to early last decade, already recording 12 receptions for 129 yards and Sunday's pair of scores and looking like a matchup problem for many linebackers and safeties. His established rapport with Tom Brady helped the legendary tight end get his feet back under him in 2020 while he worked back from a year out of football and also learned Bruce Arians' offensive system, and he's unsurprisingly hit the ground running in 2021. With the stingy Rams' cornerbacks on the schedule in Week 3, Gronkowski could play a key role as a pass catcher again in that road showdown.

In vintage form Week 1 Gronkowski brought in all eight of his targets for 90 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Impact The perennial Pro Bowler turned back the clock to his Patriots heyday in the wild win, even flashing some of his trademark chemistry with Tom Brady when he correctly adjusted his route in response to a blitz in the third quarter, resulting in a nifty 11-yard touchdown grab. Gronkowski had also notched a two-yard scoring catch in the second quarter and appeared as nimble and unencumbered in his route-running as he usually did during his solid 2020 comeback season. Gronk will look to keep up the strong work in a Week 2 home matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 19.
