Rob Gronkowski Out for Week Two

Gronk who missed last week's game against the Cardinals with a lingering hamstring will also will miss the game this week. He was officially ruled out today and that's a big blow to the Patriots. I know they managed without him last week, but having him around to help ease the learning process for Jimmy Garappolo would be a huge advantage. Gronk always seems to miss part of the season due to one of his many injuries, as long as he can get healthy by time Brady is back, and can actually stay healthy that'll be a huge plus for the Patriots in the long run. The annoying thing about these hamstring injuries is that if you come back a day too early you can mess it up again, and be out for another six weeks. So you really have to be a bitch about it and wait until you know that sucker is 100%. I Expect for Martellus Bennett to get more looks today than last week. He was only targeted four times a week ago, and the Cardinals actually have good linebackers/Safeties that could cover him well, the Dolphins won't. Despite Gronk being unavailable today Jimmy and company should be fine, obviously you want your best player in the game, but if he has to get to 100% before he can play at least he's missing a game against the Dolphins, where his presence isn't needed as much. I also want to give a big Fuck You, to all the fantasy owners that take Gronk in the first round, this is what you deserve for being an asshole and drafting a Tight End in the first round that always gets hurt. Granted when you're a kicking my ass in week 10 because he caught 3 TD's for 150 yard, you can tell me to go fuck myself.
