Rob Gronkowski-TE-New England Patriots

Gronk owners who were excited to get their first-round pick back got a huge letdown on Thursday Night Football even though the star TE was active against the Texans. Gronk was apparently healthy enough to be a decoy, but not enough to be involved in any meaningful way.

While the Patriots rolled over the Texans, Gronk was targeted just one and didn’t even catch that one pass. He ended up playing just 14 snaps in the game since New England ran away early and there was no need to risk setback.

The good news is that there wasn’t any reported setbacks, and he should be ready for a full workload against the Bills. Throughout his career, Gronkowski has owned the Bills and put up huge games against them almost every year. He’s set up to be a fantasy football stud going forward, but he was definitely belongs on our fantasy football busts this week.
