Rob Gronkowski (ankle) absent from Patriots Tuesday walkthrough

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.

What It Means:

Gronkowski's ankle injury has been reported as minor, but as 10.5-point home favorites against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, the Patriots may opt to hold out the veteran tight end on a short week. Dwayne Allen would likely start in Week 5 if Gronk sits.

numberFire's models conservatively expect Gronkowski to score 7.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,900 on Thursday. He's the TE9 in our Week 5 fantasy rankings.
