Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez was held out of practice on Thursday. It's the second day in a row he hasn't been able to practice.
Tony Gonzalez misses practice Thursday, is a dicey fantasy play for Week 11
The future Hall of Famer missed his second straight day of practice. We break down the fantasy implications.

Gonzalez is dealing with a toe injury he suffered in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons haven't provided any updates on his status, suggesting that he's uncertain to suit up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. One of the league's premier iron men, Gonzalez hasn't missed a game since 2006. He has 47 catches for 505 yards and four touchdowns in nine games this season.
Fantasy impact: Gonzo could be one of those veterans who can miss practice and still produce on Sundays, but the Falcons’ silence is a bit concerning. We should know more about his gameday status after Friday’s injury reports. For now, keep him in your lineups as a TE1, but start looking for an alternative just in case. Gonzo is one of the few passing threats left in Atlanta’s offense.
