Danny Amendola Is the Primary Benefactor Without Rob Gronkowski
Rob Gronkowski is suspended Sunday for his late hit on Tre'Davious White, which only causes PTSD flashbacks of the time he was out in Week 5 and both Dwayne Allen and Jacob Hollister combined for one target.
In that game, it was actually Danny Amendola who was treated as the tight end, recording 8 catches for 77 yards from the slot. It's no coincidence he played a season-high 74.32% of offensive snaps that week, which was 25 percentage points more than his season average (49.11%).
If Amendola acts as the tight end again, he should produce against a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the fifth-highest percentage of fantasy points (18%) to that position. Additionally, it's worth noting that Chris Hogan, who's expected to return this week, recorded a team-high 36.6% target share without Gronkowski in Week 5.
