With Rob Gronkowski out for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, find out who you should replace him with on your fantasy football roster.

Injuries are a part of any sport. They cause teams and fantasy football owners to adjust upon injury news especially when it is a key player. Rob Gronkowski has been ruled out this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles, but good thing the news came two days before the games on Sunday. There is still plenty of time to find a replacement for the New England Patriots tight end.

In ESPN’s standard scoring leagues, Gronk led the way among tight ends and was owned within almost every fantasy league. Now in order to not get a whopping zero points at the tight end or flex position, a roster move or two needs to to happen to keep your roster in good shape so you come away victorious after week 13.

While Gronk has taken the season by storm on the fantasy football stat sheet and leads all tight ends with 142 points, there are still quality options to fill in while he is out and provide you with some solid points for at least one week. One option who may be worth picking up after week 13, since the Green Bay Packers already played, would be Richard Rodgers.

Check out five options worth considering to replace Gronk for Week 13 at tight end.
