Impact It certainly would be unusual for a player to miss a game after back-to-back full practices without a setback. Still, fantasy managers should keep an eye out this weekend in case the Bucs give Gronkowski a game designation on their final injury report Saturday afternoon. The extra caution does make sense, given his age, injury history and the recent failed attempt at returning from a rib/lung injury (he played six snaps Week 8 against New Orleans before exiting with back spasms). If he does return Monday, which now seems likely, there's no guarantee of Gronkowski immediately reclaiming his huge role from earlier this season (51.0 snaps, 7.0 targets per game Weeks 1-3).
