It’s a 2013 Spec Roubaix with Ultegra groupset.
Which generation of Ultegra? Is there a centering adjustment bolt? See Acrobat file (for Ultegra 6800) at URL below on pp. 13-14.

I thought I had the wheel all the way up in the dropouts but since I did have it off then reinstalled it I will check that first.
This is the first thing I would check. After that, check that your wheel is spinning straight and not wobbly.

For example:
1. See above re: centering adjustment bolt.
2. You keep hitting your brake caliper on one side.
3. Assuming you have a dual-pivot brake caliper, one pivot is binding. Disassemble, clean, and grease all moving parts.
