Rob Gronkowski (ribs) misses another practice

Sep 30, 2021

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronowski missed Thursday's practice with a rib injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Gronkowski has missed two practices in a row, but there remains optimism that the veteran tight end will be able to play on Sunday, even if he does not practice at all this week. With that being said, the team would highly prefer to see him out there in some fashion tomorrow, but the injury would have to be severe to keep Gronkowski off the field in a revenge game against the Patriots. Gronk may see his snaps reduced if active on Sunday night but should still be involved enough in the red zone to make good on his upside. He is our sixth-ranked tight end for Week 4.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
