Who Should I Start? Rob Gronkowski or George Kittle

On Tuesday, DenverSports.com reported that five-time Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski was eyeing a potential NFL comeback, and the Denver Broncos were listed as a possible top suitor. However, FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz said he asked Gronkowski about the reports, and the 35-year-old denied the rumors. "Crazy bro. They must know something about me that I don't," Gronkowski said. "I wish I still had those powers, because that would be cool if I did. But I was just in Australia for a few days. Now it's time to relax a little. No football." The former New England Patriot and Tampa Bay Buccaneer is one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, so it would be exciting if he stepped back on the field. However, that doesn't appear to be in the cards based on his comments.

During a recent appearance on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said he feels great physically and mentally, and he is not putting a timeline on his retirement. The former fifth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Iowa said he will play "literally until I don't have fun anymore." The Pro Bowl and All-Pro fixture recently signed a four-year extension to remain with the Niners long term following a 78-catch, 1,106-yard, eight-touchdown season in 2024. "The one benefit of not making the playoffs is you get an entire month off," Kittle said. "I haven't had January off since 2020." This sounds like a great development for Kittle's fantasy managers and his upside in 2025, especially after the departure of receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., who was traded to the Washington Commanders. Kittle is currently being priced as the TE3 in half-PPR ADP, and it would be a surprise if he's not in contention for the overall TE1 once again in his ninth NFL campaign.
