Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots): A flashback to September 20th 2015 shows a similar matchup against who else the Buffalo Bills. The Bills held Gronk to 7 receptions on 13 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown. Expect a similar performance from the dominant tight end this week as he becomes the primary target now that Julian Edelman is injured for the foreseeable future.

Jason Witten (Dallas Cowboys): Witten gets his best friend back and Romo gets his security blanket. Witten should see an uptick in targets and production with Romo back in the lineup. He has a pretty friendly matchup against the Dolphins and the tight ends for the Philadelphia Eagles,  Zach Ertz and Brent Celek, destroyed this defense in week 10. Witten should see close to 10 targets.

Greg Olsen (Carolina Panthers): Washington is pretty good against the tight end however I believe they will focus on stopping the run more than they will the pass. Plus Olsen is Cam Newton's primary deep threat so it would not be to shocking to see him have double digit targets in this game.

Richard Rodgers (Green Bay Packers): The Vikings defense has been pretty solid this season so far and the inability of Green Bay's wide receivers to get open makes this an incredibly attractive matchup. In the past two games Rodgers has had to rely on Rodgers for red zone targets as well as last minute heroics. Rodgers delivered on a small amount of targets and now has position himself to be one of the Packers more consistent weapons. Expect Rodgers to continue his red zone streak.
