When will Gronk's role expand?

The New England Patriots held off a scrappy Oakland Raiders team Sunday to go 2-1 on the young season. They've managed to do so without leaning much on Rob Gronkowski, who still is working his way back from reconstructive knee surgery. After reeling in three of six targets for 44 yards and a score Sunday, Gronk now has 11 receptions on 23 targets for 116 yards and 2 TDs.
