Rob Gronkowski records 25 yards in Buccaneers loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski caught 2 passes on 6 targets for 25 yards in a 27-24, Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

What It Means:

Gronkowski drew the fourth-most targets behind the Buccaneers' receiving trio of Antonio Brown (13), Chris Godwin (10), and Mike Evans (9). Since Brown was added to the lineup, Gronkowski has caught 5 passes on 15 targets for an average of 26.0 yards a game. In the four games prior, Gronkowski was averaging 6.5 targets, 4.3 catches, and 58.3 yards. Tom Brady has also shown a clear preference for Evans in the red zone, furthering limiting Gronkowski's upside. The Buccaneers will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Gronk is averaging 5.4 FanDuel points in three games with Brown on the roster. Due to the lack of viable options at his position, Gronk is still the TE7 in numberFire's Week 12 fantasy rankings. He has a salary of $6,200 on FanDuel's main weekend slate. The Chiefs are allowing the 12th-fewest FanDuel points per game to the tight end position this season.
