Report: Rob Gronkowski knee injury may not be serious

Nov 30, 2015

A source tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter that pending further tests the injury “doesn’t appear to be serious,” was most surprising based on how much pain Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski appeared to be in as he squirmed on the field with the medical staff checking his right knee.

Fantasy Impact:

When the cart came out for Gronkowski late Sunday night, it was a painful déjà vu for fantasy owners from 2013. Hopefully, the ultimate diagnosis isn’t as damaging as 2013. With the Pats returning home to play the slumping and struggling Eagles, and the dream of a perfect season gone, Gronk owners should probably come up with a backup plan for at least Week 13. The Boston Herald reported Gronkowski walked out of the Sports Authority Field at Mile High without crutches or barely even a limp. He’ll have an MRI Monday, which is the standard operation procedure for such injuries.

“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

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.
