The New England Patriots are listing Rob Gronkowski as questionable vs. the Miami Dolphins. Gronkowski missed Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, and it looks like it may cost him another game.
The seventh-year tight end was limited in practice this week, so it looks like he’ll be a game-time decision on Sunday. Gronkowski appeared to still be hindered by the injury during practice portions the media viewed on Thursday, a bad sign for his chances of playing this week.
This injury was sustained back on Aug. 15, so seeing it still limit him is very concerning.
Fantasy Impact: If he makes his 2016 debut, Gronkowski will be a must-start vs. the Dolphins. However, you need to prepare as if he will not play and have a suitable backup ready to insert into his place. Gronkowski missing this game would also make Martellus Bennett a decent fantasy option this week.
