4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 15

Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots

DraftKings Price: $7,300
Projected Points: 16.4

This week marks the first game that the New England Patriots will have both Rob Gronkowski and Chris Hogan available since Rex Burkhead was fully implemented into its offense in Week 10. Burkhead has averaged a 36.86% snap rate in that span -- nine percentage points higher than his season average -- but either Hogan or Gronkowski have been inactive in every game over that span.

No matter how New England chooses to approach this game offensively, Gronkowski's target share seems the most reliable of any of the team's receivers. In three games that Gronkowksi played without Burkhead this season, the former averaged a 21.1% target share. With Hogan inactive but Burkhead in, Gronkowski averaged a 22.4% target share in his last four outings.

In five games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Gronkowski has averaged a box score of six catches for 99.2 yards and 1.6 touchdowns. Brady's performance (or lack thereof) in primetime against the Miami Dolphins last week could deter some players from paying up for both New England studs. But our models project Gronkowski as the eighth-highest scoring receiver this week (and top tight end) with good reason.
