MATT HARMON: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers make yet another live for today move, going one step further all-in on 2020 by trading for Rob Gronkowski to reunite him with his former quarterback from New England down there in Tampa Bay.

Now obviously I think it's a perfectly reasonable trade for the Bucs to make, considering the compensation. But there there's a lot of unknowns here for fantasy football. Number one, there's a lot of targets to go around. I'm not sure you can just pencil in Rob Gronkowski for anything close to his old volume. We also have no idea really how he's going to look after taking a year off football.

However, I think this improves the ceiling on the offense overall. It makes Brady that much more appealing as a fantasy quarterback. Now I think it's definitely going to ding some volume from the wide receivers, of course. But I think right now you're slotting Gronk in towards the back half of the tight end one rankings, you know, pending reports from the offseason. We'll see what's going to happen here. I'm not going to get overly excited about Gronk, but I certainly think this is a move that really improves the overall ceiling of the offense right now.
