Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Gronkowski is “no sure thing” to play, per Ian Rapoport, though the Boston Herald was told by two sources that he is expected to play “barring an unexpected setback.” We should know more on Saturday as the Patriots generally do not let players who aren’t expected to play travel with the team. Martellus Bennett would have top 5 upside if Gronk misses any time.

Patriots Beat: TE Rob Gronkowski 'still not 100 percent healthy'

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is still not 100 percent healthy, still feeling the effects of when he pulled up and took himself out of practice on Aug. 15. He remains limited in practice with a hamstring injury.

Gronkowski's inclusion on the team's first injury report of the season Wednesday adds context to what he's been facing health-wise. Gronkowski took himself out of a joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Aug. 15 after attempting to catch a pass from quarterback Tom Brady along the sideline. He returned to practice Aug. 24, but didn't play in either of the final two preseason games, which wasn't a major surprise considering Gronkowski hasn't played in the preseason since 2012.

The Patriots kept four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster: Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett, Clay Harbor and AJ Derby. That is one more than the norm.

Fantasy Impact: 

The implication is that Gronk may not play in Week 1, but if he's limited in practice on Wednesday, it's an indicator that he'll be out there on Sunday night. The Patriots play in Arizona, and players who are not going to play typically do not travel, so we should know more on Saturday.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Gronkowski should be fine to play Sunday night, though this underlines his tendency to get nicked up during the season. Martellus Bennett would have top 5 upside if Gronk misses any time.

Pats Beat: 'Wouldn't be a surprise' if TE Martellus Bennett plays 80 percent of the snaps

Mike Reiss on TE Martellus Bennett: I subscribe to the theory that with defenses paying extra attention to Rob Gronkowski, it will open up more opportunities for Bennett. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Patriots run more than 80 percent of their offensive snaps with both tight ends on the field, so it won't be a matter of playing time for Bennett as much as how defenses decide to handle the dual threat at the position. It also helps that Jimmy Garoppolo and Bennett have seemed to develop a rapport in the preseason.

Fantasy Impact: 

Eleven tight ends played 80 percent or more of the snaps in 2015, so if Bennett reaches that sort of playing time, he'll have a good shot at posting TE1 numbers given the overall production of New England's offense. He also has top five upside if anything were to happen to the injury-prone Gronkowski.
