This time it's for real. However, Stevan Ridley's status remains unclear. At least Gronk's presence should prevent the Saints from smothering Amendola in the event Pats are still without a running game like last week.

Does this theoretically increase amendola's value? Projections actually decreased his numbers with gronk coming back.Comment -
The Saints will blitz the hell out of Brady. Gronk will be too afraid to block and Blount and Bolden are useless in blocking.Originally posted by LT Profits
It's going to be a long day for Brady again cause the Saints defense is much better than Bengals and they destroyed him.Comment -
gronk lost a lot of muscle. not sure if he'll play more than half of the downs.Comment -
I'd imagine it would decrease his value when Gronk is fully healthy, but COULD increase in short term if Gronk is more as a decoy for now. Hard to say without seeing Gronk play, should no more after this week.Originally posted by gizmo2431Comment -
i will believe it when i see it.
whats the line on him playing in all
4 quarters????
+750???Comment -
I think the Gronk will come back and have a great can to show his skepticsComment -
He may be on a snap count but he is almost definitely back this week.Originally posted by Big BearComment -
When the Pats are back at full-strength they'll be able to contend with the Broncos.Comment -
Line says pats winComment -
If weather is good take Saints
Pats have nothingComment -
Pats need Gronk bad, they are getting zero TE production right now.Comment -
This is exactly what Brady needs.
Dude lost Welker, who is clutch over the middle on big 3rd down conversions. Gronk is a monster there. Can't match up, and reasonably good hands. Above all else, Gronk understands how to use his body, and makes sure his body is between the ball and the defender.Comment -

finally if i had known when i drafted gronk in the 5th round of my fantasy league I would have passed if I had known he was coming back week 6 and maybe not even 100%Comment -
how many catches and how many yards do you think he will come up with this week ? I think his impact will be minimal.Comment -
Doesn't matter. That Broncos defense is awful, Brady will have no problem moving the ball on them. And I'll take Brady over Peyton in the playoffs any day.Originally posted by Ghenghis KahnComment -
looking forward to it should be a great gameComment -
Doubt he will be a decoy after this much time. Brady needs him in this game. Bellichik didn't rest him till now to use him as a decoy. Should be a good game but pats shouldn't be favors here IMOComment -

Ridley's status is more important than Gronk's. If Ridley is back forcing defenses to respect the run, and now Amendola and Gronk are both back, then Pats have a lot more than "nothing".
Comment -
They only put up 6 points against the Bengals, who actually have a decent defense. They aren't going to win this game, even in Foxborough and Gronk back.Comment -
They had no running game vs. Bengals, that is why I think Ridley's status is more important.Originally posted by El_ZilchoComment -
So everyone is in agreement patriots lose?Comment -
Yes bear, pound the saints NOW!Originally posted by Big BearComment -
yeah pound the saints. they're back babyComment -
Which team that the Saints faced so far had a good running game? They shut down everyone they played.Originally posted by LT Profits
And since you are big in FF Ridley has 18 fantasy points the whole season! This is pathetic.Comment -
Ridley doesn't need to be great, just his presence would force Saints to respect the run. Without him, rest of Pats RBs are atrocious.Originally posted by pavyracerComment -
