The Facts: Many (including various game officials) think Gronkowski pushes off. On Tuesday, he was working on tactics for getting open that don't include pushing off. Via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gronk practiced fake at the goal-line aimed at shrugging a defender and putting himself in the clear for a touchdown. "That's a route, when you're going to your left or right you want to give the whole head and shoulders, not just a little leg step," Gronkowski told Reiss. "You want to give the whole-body feel, to get the defender to think you're going that way and then pop the other way. You have to have a couple moves and tricks to get open."

Diehards Line: As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, apart from the whole-body fake, defenders will still believe that Gronkowski uses his arms when he can as one of his “couple moves and tricks” to get open. But as far as fantasy owners are concerned, so what? The results are all that matters. And over the last two seasons, he has totaled 154 receptions for 2,300 yards and 23 touchdowns. While the addition of TE Martellus Bennett could be a factor in the red zone, nothing is going to keep Gronkowski from being the first TE drafted in your league again this year.
