Each week, TSN. Ron Hextall Jersey .ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mitch Ward discuss three hot fantasy football topics. 1) With Rob Gronkowski finally back, where will he finish the year in terms of fantasy points among TEs? Cullen: I expect Gronkowski to finish in the top five among tight ends in total points by the end of the year. Barring injury, Jimmy Graham, Vernon Davis and Julius Thomas have sizeable enough leads that they should be able to finish ahead. Jordan Cameron has a big lead, but with shaky quarterback play, could be easier to catch. After that, theres lots of room for Gronk to move up, especially if Tom Brady is going to target him as heavily as he did in his first game of the season, when he sent 17 passes in Gronkowskis direction. Fisher: Gronkowski has nine weeks left to catch up to the 40 or so tight ends ahead of him in fantasy points. I think he catches up to all but about seven of them. Im giving Gronk at least 10 points a week and three or four weeks where he scores closer to 20. Theyre lofty numbers but we all know what hes capable of – and he is by far the most desirable option in New Englands offence this year – so its definitely possible. If Gronkowski stays healthy, hell finish as a Top 10 tight end on the verge of being Top 5. Ward: Gronkowski is a top-3 tight end from here on out. He marked his return to game action with eight catches and 114 yards which is nice, but more importantly he saw 17 targets and did not suffer any injury setbacks. The 17 targets are massive and are a clear indication that he is going to be Tom Bradys favourite target the rest of the way. You can expect double digit targets on a weekly basis and you should also expect the catch rate to improve as he and Brady get back on the same page. There are plenty more big days in store for Gronk. 2) Can Darrius Heyward-Bey be a serviceable fantasy starter now that Reggie Wayne is out for the season? Cullen: The Colts will hope that Heyward-Bey can provide that kind of production and the opportunity to start in an offence with a quality quarterback makes him worth adding in many leagues, but Im more inclined to raise expectations for T.Y. Hilton or even TE Coby Fleener before getting too carried away with expectations for Heyward-Bey. Fisher: Heyward-Bey finished last year just outside the Top 50 in fantasy scoring at WR. Hes in a much more enviable situation this year with Andrew Luck and the Colts but enough to put up Top 30 WR numbers? Heyward-Bey actually put up double digit points against the Broncos after Wayne left with an injury but I dont expect that to continue on a weekly basis. The 26-year-old actually started the year ahead of T.Y. Hilton on the depth chart and I wouldnt be surprised if LaVon Brazill jumps ahead of DHB at some point too. Hes just not a good receiver. Ward: DHB is going to see more targets out of necessity without Wayne in the Colts lineup. However, Heyward-Bey is not Reggie Wayne and you need to temper expectations somewhat because of the relatively conservative offence Pep Hamilton has implemented in Indy. The Colts just dont take a ton of shots deep which mitigates Heyward-Beys biggest asset: speed. Id expect someone like tight end Coby Fleener to see a much bigger uptick in usage than Heyward-Bey. Despite the loss of Wayne, Heyward-Bey is no more than a low-end WR3 at this point. 3) After returning from injury with two solid weeks, can a healthy Eddie Lacy be a Top 10 fantasy RB? Cullen: No doubt. Lacy has run for 301 yards over the last three weeks and with the receiving corps depleted for the Packers, they might actually need to run the ball more. The top seven or eight backs are pretty set this year, but after that group the production varies quite a bit and its easy enough to see Lacy as a better option than DeMarco Murray, Gio Bernard or even Alfred Morris. Fisher: The Packers are virtually void of all options in the passing game and that should help Lacy with scoring opportunities, but its still hard to consider him a Top 10 running back. He has been playing near his ceiling since returning from injury and has only barely been a Top 10 back the past two weeks. The 230 pound power back might bump his totals with some goal line opportunities but he probably more accurately slots in as a solid RB2. Ward: Top-10 might be a tad high but hes definitely in that range. Last week against the Browns, Lacy had 22 carries compared to just two for Jonathan Franklin. Lacy is the Packers workhorse and with so many injuries at receiver in Green Bay, he figures to see a heavy workload going forward including more looks in the passing game. Lacy also has a pretty running back friendly schedule the rest of the way so top-10 production, while not guaranteed, is certainly in play. Jakub Voracek Jersey . Anor had not scored since getting his first two goals of the season vs. Philadelphia on March 22 but struck with laser precision from distance in the 56th and 75th minutes. Montreal (3-10-5) lost its third straight and Impact coach Frank Klopas said it literally was a case of his players not stepping up. Brandon Manning Jersey . -- Josh MacDonalds second goal of the game kept his team alive as the Peterborough Petes edged the host Kingston Frontencas 6-5 in overtime on Friday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action.CHICAGO - Drew Brees saw a different attitude, noticed a better vibe this time.Jimmy Graham could sense it, too.You should have heard this locker room before the game started, he said. We need to come out every week just like that.There was plenty for the Saints to like about their 31-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Monday night.Brees threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns, and New Orleans (6-8) moved into first place ahead of Carolina (5-8-1) and Atlanta (5-9) after losing four of its previous five games. The Saints also rebounded from a 41-10 loss to the Panthers.I saw a lot of enthusiasm, Brees said. I saw a lot of guys just ready to play. And I think just ready to go out there and turn it loose, not play with any inhibitions, not play with any caution, paralysis by over-analysis. Just come out and play ball and do it like we normally can do.He figures the Saints will find out more about themselves the final two weeks, with a home game against Atlanta followed by a trip to Tampa Bay.Here are some things we learned from the Saints win over the Bears:BREES-ING ALONG: Brees made it look easy after a shaky game last week, completing 29 of 36 passes and reached the 4,000-yard mark for the ninth straight year. He threw two touchdown passes to Josh Hill and another to Marques Colston.The focus he prepares with is very consistent, coach Sean Payton said. It really became a little bit more about this team playing together and trying to put four good quarters together.CLAMPING DOWN: Calling this an improvement for the Saints defence would be a mild understatement.New Orleans held Chicago (5-9) to 278 yards after giving up more than 400 in four straight games. They also sacked Jay Cutler seven times to go with three interceptions, bringing his NFL-leading turnover total to 24.I think it was 11 guys out there executing, said David Hawthorne, who had three sacks. It was the guys out there covering, giving me time to come up the midddle. Taylor Leier Jersey. . And it was Rob (Ryan) with perfect timing when to dial it up. Once we found something he stayed with it.NOT CUTTING IT: It wasnt a great night for Cutler during the game or afterward.He completed 17 of 31 passes for 194 yards and had a season-low 55.8 rating. He wasnt at his best afterward, either.Cutler answered three questions and walked out of the postgame press conference after he was told most of the media had just been alerted he was at the podium and were on their way.Were going to wait for them? he said and then left.That happened after Cutler scored points with the public for his professional response to the Aaron Kromer situation.Kromer, Chicagos offensive co-ordinator, acknowledged he was a source behind a critical report by the NFL Network about Cutler, owning up to it in public Friday after earlier asking players and coaches for forgiveness.UNHAPPY FANS: Bears fans made their feelings clear by not showing up.There were 10,749 no-shows on a soggy night, and that might not have been a bad thing for the Bears, the way they played.The fans who came out clearly were not happy, showering the team with boos at halftime with the Saints up 14-0.TOP OF THE HILL: Hill had gone six straight games without a touchdown catch. He now has five on the season. And the two scores Monday — an 8-yard catch in the second and a 7-yarder in the third — came on similar plays, with Brees running a bootleg to his right.NOTES: Bears kicker Robbie Gould was inactive with a right quadriceps injury, leaving the kicking duties to Jay Feely for the second straight week. Safety Chris Conte and offensive lineman Michael Ola missed the game because of back injuries. ... Saints LT Terron Armstead (neck) started and LB Junior Galette (knee) played after they were listed as questionable. ...
