Patriots' Rob Gronkowski's preseason activity part of new preparation

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's involvement in the preseason is part of his new approach to a healthy regular season.

What It Means:

CSNNE.com's Tom E. Curran writes that Gronkowski has been working with Tom Brady's body coach, Alex Guerrero, who -- along with Brady -- believes that playing football is the best preparation for the body. So it appears that Gronkowski's run, however limited, has the purpose of preserving him for the long haul of the regular season.

After racking up just 540 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games a year ago, we project the superstar tight end for 69.0 receptions, 1,014.3 yards and 11.3 touchdowns. If he can maintain his health, look for Gronkowski to rebound and finish as the number one tight end in fantasy.
