Patriots' Rob Gronkowski (thigh) figures to be limited on Thursday night

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski "figures to be limited some" against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

What It Means:

Officially listed as questionable, Gronkowski was a late addition to the injury report with a thigh issue. And, although it's not expected to sideline him, it could force Bill Belichick to monitor him a little closer on a short week. It probably won't keep him from being a key red zone target against a banged up Tampa defense, but we could see more Dwayne Allen and Danny Amendola on Thursday night.

At $7,800, Gronk is our models' top option at tight end this week. He's projected for 5.3 catches, 66.6 yards and 0.57 touchdowns on 8.1 targets. At 12.7 projected FanDuel points, he's the only player at or above 10.5 at his position.
