What It Means:

Gronkowski had been inactive since fracturing his ribs in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He seems to have a chance to play in Sunday's game agains the New Orleans Saints, but the Buccaneers may decide to hold him out through their bye next week. Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard have been splitting snaps at tight end in place of Gronkowski.

Gronk was third on the Buccaneers over the first three weeks with a 16.0% target share and he averaged 16.8 FanDuel points in that span. The Saints are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the tight end position this season.
