Week 12 a little strange regarding injuries. New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski looked like he might have been the best first-round pick back in fantasy drafts, but now his fantasy owners look like they're going to miss him for a couple weeks. Even though he hasn't been ruled out, his fantasy owners will need to hit the waiver wire.
