Gronk, Hernandez, or Ballard?

I checked my team that i did on a whim, and I just realized I have a very good shot at winning it and $240 (to go with my $255 regular season championship

)

Thoughts on who I should pick? Gronk is Gronk, and AH is always dangerous, but I've got a sneaky suspicion about Ballard (plus Eli is my qb)

I've got time to research (past matchups, current matchups, etc) but want some opinions

Thanks! Help me TD to finish off an epic fantasy football year

I'd go with Gronk.

Though see if you can figure out who your main opponent will be using.

Then, think about it like final jeapardy. Pick Ballard if you need him to win it for ya or pick Gronk if your other players should suffice (since your opponent will most likely have Gronk as well).

How the frick did you have an "epic" year in fantasy football if you need to know which TE end to start and Gronk is one of the choices?

I bulldozed through my regular season and dominated the championship. I'm now poised to win my playoff league. That not a bad year in my book.

Completely agree.

However, you clearly at least have the slightest idea what you are doing, right? Therefore, you should know to pick Gronkowski without even thinking about it. The only reason to pick someone else (Hernandez) is if they limit how much Gronkowski plays due to his ankle, which seems highly unlikely to stop him at this point.

At the moment I'm starting Gronk. My issue (if it would be considered an 'issue'), is that in this league, you get multipliers each consecutive weeks you start someone.

For example, if you started Gronk in week one of the playoffs through until now, each round gets multiplied. Round one x 1, round two x 2, round three x 3, super bowl x 4.

I started jimmy graham weeks one and two, and Vernon Davis in round three (bad mistake in hindsight).

That means anybody I start only gets a x's 1 multiplier. Problem is, most people are starting Gronk for going on 3-4 weeks and will kill me on the multiplier.

My only hope may be to start Ballard or Gonzales and hope for a shitty day from Gronk, or start him and hope for the best.

(In all actuality, I'm probably over analyzing all of this and will just end up starting Gronk anyways

)
