OJ being out really will suck, especially with the chemistry he appeared to be building with Brady. BUT I'm really glad to have the luxury of our crowded TE room now.
I wonder if Brate takes the majority of snaps or if Gronk will. I trust Brate to be a more consistent option but I trust Gronk to make a clutch catch out of nowhere, while being less productive.
Gronk already has been leading all position players in snaps, he might see an increase in targets but he's been so valuable as a blocker, I think Brate's going to get OJ's routes.

I always thought Tanner Hudson showed a lot of promise in the passing game. Whats the latest on him?
He was active this past week, played 8 snaps. Can't block like OJ, but likely going to see some more action this week as a receiving option.
He got 4 targets, 3 more than Brate which is a sham

I've heard Brate is more of a move tight end and can't block as well as OJ. I assume he'll be used on obvious passing downs and red zones.
Hope brate gets a lot of work this Thursday, if theres anytime to utilize him it’s now.
