Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and Danny Amendola (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Amendola did not play in Week and Gronkowski has been out all season with back surgery.
Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola are limited, fantasy values still up in the air
Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola were limited in practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Amendola decided that he wasn’t going to get surgery earlier in the week and the team hasn’t changed their tune on his return in one to five weeks. The slot receiver has suffered multiple groin injuries in his young Patriot career and he put up 10 catches in Week 1.
As for Gronk, the team has been hopeful that he’s ready for Week 3 since August, but there have been no firm deadlines. The Patriots have got next to nothing out of their tight ends and really need him back. Gronkowski scored 11 times in 11 games last season before he broke his forearm.
Fantasy impact: The Patriots really need their guys back. Tom Brady can't seem to establish chemistry with his guys that he currently has. Both Gronk and Amendola are must-start options once healthy.
