Aaron Hernandez Status Update: Questionable With A Knee Injury

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is nursing a knee injury and is listed as questionable on the injury report. Hernandez is expected to play however, as beat writers have noted Hernandez walking around the Patriots facility without a limp. He missed practice on Wednesday, but practiced on both Thursday and Friday.

Hernandez is expected to be active and play, so he's worth the risk on your roster. He's currently slated to finish in the Top 10 for fantasy scoring for tight ends. If Hernandez is limited however, expect the Patriots offense to continue to flow around the other tight end, Rob Gronkowski, who's been the team's best redzone threat. Make sure to check your leagues waiver wire's to see if anyone got impatient and decided to drop Hernandez.
